Nancy - Becca? Have I got that right. That came out wrong. I know your Becca. her day? Have a wonderful day. 
Here's what has been lifting me up this week. She's speaking in Patois (Jamaican English dialect) so I'll tell you she's speaking about her annoyance with her auntie (but the auntie has to be her age). It's so heartwarming to me because she is Mama (Jean's mom) in some ways. There is nothing like a true Jamaican woman. Like born and raised and lived. Jean moved here at ten. Not the same.
I only can catch about 40% (maybe 30%!!!!) - that much because besides Mama and others I taught in many ESD classes - students directly from the Caribbean - mostly Jamaican.
Enjoy.
