Why I like Madea!

Hello Dear,
As I ran about doing my house keeping thing I realized why I like Madea. I have never really thought about the fact that I like her and the movies...mostly. But I do like them.
I am married to a New York, Haitian American handsome man. My Parents are educated, Mid-Westerns. They are not so crazy for Madea. They recognize a good movie, but the characters are a bit over the top.....to them. But not so much for myself. Let me explain.javascript:void(0)
I grew up 3 blocks from and parallel to Stewart Ave. 1577 Belmont Ave. On my block there was the Candy Lady, the lonely white guy (who was super nice), the grandmother who wouldn't let her grandchild leave her yard, a Jehovah's Witness family, my boy friend was Pookie (he died of leukemia, i think)and His mom was Barbara Jean, pronounced Baaba Jean. My Neighbor was Jimmy Dean, and Chiquita Banana (we added the banana)lived down the street. My friend Poine Dexter( I know it's spelled wrong)was our Erkle. The characters in the movies are taken right off the corners and blocks of the streets I grew up in. Madea and the others may be just a little extra but I know the real women that make Madea real. I think crazy, loud, loyal, women of that particular stock are made special down hear in the Dirty dirty. And that is why I like Madea.
