“Girl”
By Jamaica Kincaid
Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap;
wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to
dry; don’t walk barehead in the hot sun; cook pumpkin fritters in
very hot sweet oil; soak your little cloths right after you take
them off; when buying cotton to make yourself a nice blouse, be sure
that it doesn’t have gum on it, because that way it won’t hold up
well after a wash; soak salt fish overnight before you cook it; is
it true that you sing benna in Sunday school?; always eat your food
in such a way that it won’t turn someone else’s stomach; on
Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so
bent on becoming; don’t sing benna in Sunday school; you mustn’t
speak to wharf-rat boys, not even to give directions; don’t eat
fruits on the street--flies will follow you; but I don’t sing benna
on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school; this is how to sew on
a button; this is how to make a hole for the button you have just
sewed on; this is how to hem a dress when you see the hem coming
down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the slut I know
you are so bent on becoming; this is how you iron your father’s
khaki shirt so that it doesn’t have a crease; this is how you iron
your father’s khaki pants so that they don’t have a crease; this
is how you grow okra--far from the house, because okra tree harbors
red ants; when you are growing dasheen, make sure it gets plenty of
water or else it makes your throat itch when you are eating it, this
is how you sweep a corner; this is how you sweep a whole house; this
is how you sweep a yard; this is how you smile to someone you don’t
like very much; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at
all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely; this is
how you set a table for tea; this is how you set a table for dinner;
this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this
is how you set a table for lunch; this is how you set a table for
breakfast; this is how to behave in the presence of men who don’t
know you very well, and this way they won’t recognize immediately
the slut I have warned you against becoming; be sure to wash every
day, even if it is with your own spit; don’t squat down to play
marbles--you are not a boy, you know; don’t pick people’s flowers--
you might catch something; don’t throw stones at blackbirds,
because it might not be a blackbird at all; this is how to make a
bread pudding; this is how to make doukona; this is how to make
pepper pot; this is how to make a good medicine for a cold; this is
how to make a good medicine to throw away a child before it even
becomes a child; this is how to catch a fish; this is how to throw
back a fish you don’t like, and that way something bad won’t fall
on you; this is how to bully a man; this is how a man bullies you;
this is how to love a man, and if this doesn’t work there are other
ways, and if they don’t work don’t feel too bad about giving up;
this is how to spit up in the air if you feel like it, and this is
how to move quick so that it doesn’t fall on you; this is how to
make ends meet; always squeeze bread to make sure it’s fresh; but
what if the baker won’t let me feel the bread?; you mean to say
that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the
baker won’t let near the bread?
