Monnie Larry David

A framily member and I were discussing “Curb Your Enthusiasm” today and it was determined that I was the Black female version of Larry David.

Take this season when Larry started a whole coffee shop next to his nemesis out of spite. It was the pettiest thing he could do and yet…I’ve done this before on a much smaller scale. See…I had a woman refuse to shop where I was once until I’d left the building. She was looking for a table. I asked the owner how many tables he had and, when he told me, I told him I’d buy all he had. He was surprised but went around and counted it up, I paid and then left. With ALL the tables. That I had to return to pick up.

I called them the Petty Collection and it took me a long time to sell all of them but I did it.

Cuz I’m petty.

So I totally get Larry David’s energy. TOTALLY.

I also don’t like touching people. This hasn’t been a recent, sign of the times thing, this has been me forever. Larry David doesn’t like random people either. He always gets wrapped into some craziness and well…same. sigh I don’t make the things that happen to me up. I am simply not that creative. Shit just happens and I go along for the ride with an in-my-head commentary going on that I can’t shut off. Hella funny, mind you. HELLA.

I just finished reading this article about Larry David and well…it’s pretty spot on with me. In fact…I totally feel seen: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/04/style/larry-david-curb-your-enthusiasm-coronavirus-psa.html
