Between Alaska and The Bronx... Love?
Question of the Week: Which two characters from children's or YA literature would make the perfect couple?
***Note from Coe Booth: I could not think of any answer for this Question of the Week, so I asked a close friend of mine to be a guest blogger today.
So, without further ado, I give you... Tyrell:
First up, to be honest, I ain't even up on all this Longstockings and blogging stuff. It ain't my style, know what I'm saying? Brotha like me got things to do. I can't be sitting at no computer all day trying to type. So I'ma keep this short, then I'ma bounce. A'ight?
So y'all wanna know what female I wanna hook up with, right?
Well, y'all pro'ly know I ain't all into books. I ain't even read the book that lady wrote 'bout me. But outta the books I did check out, I'ma hafta say, no doubt, I coulda kicked it with that hot shorty, Alaska.
Yeah, I know what y'all thinking. She was all messed up and everything, but man, there ain't nothing like a fly honey with problems. You don't never get bored with them kinda girls 'cause you don't never know what they gonna do next. That's what I liked 'bout Alaska. When she wasn't all depressed, she was all 'bout having a good time. She always be actin' wild, rolling up in people rooms and messing with they stuff. And she be breaking all the rules all the time. Like me.
And she was smart, too. Y'all seen her room, right? All them books in there like she running a library or something. And if y'all know me, y'all know I'm into them smart girls. Something 'bout them. Can't help myself.
Now, I know I ain't never gonna go to no boarding school 'cause that ain't my thing. But if Alaska grew up in the projects like me, she never woulda bugged out like she did 'cause folks 'round here always got your back. Know what I'm saying? And, no, I ain't never went out with no white girl before 'cause, straight up, I'm all 'bout the sistahs. But that girl Alaska was a'ight. And if I was her man, I coulda took care of her. Never woulda let nothin' happen to her. Them boarding school chumps couldn't do that. But me and Alaska together, we woulda been for real.
Too late for that now, right?
Man.

awesome guest blogger coe!!!
Coe- Please thank Tyrell for writing the Longstockings' 100TH POST!!! And I think Alaska would be good for him -- she'd definitely encourage him to stay in school.
I'll tell him. And I'm so glad he showed some respect and kept his language clean! :-)
Tyrell, I love you!!!! Can we hang out sometime soon?
In relationships, it always helps to know what you're looking for. Awesome post, Tyrell---I'm sure there's an alive Alaska somewhere in the Bronx who doesn't even know she's meant for you!!
Oh my goodness, I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard. This is brilliant.
wow. that is the greatest thing ever. wow.
