Speaker 1 (00:25):
Letter, A thank you nephew. Subject I'm not sure whose
baby this is, Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm writing in to
get some advice for my brother because he's been duped
by his wife. She's been in and out of his
life for years and doing whatever she wanted to do
in the marriage. He told us that his wife has
never cheated on him, But I beg to differ because
(00:48):
their baby came out looking like he's the son of
Colonel Sanders. We call him light bright because he is
not getting any darker. My brother is a caramel color
and his wife is a little bit lighter than he is,
but not as clear colored as the baby. My brother said.
They got a DNA test done, but he didn't follow
(01:09):
up with the results because he knows it's his baby.
He's a sucker for his wife, and I can't stand
to see him mistreated. She's always with her Caucasian best friend,
and I think that girl's brother is the baby daddy.
I called my sister in law about a month ago
and I told her I want to sit down with
her and go over the DNA test with her. She
(01:32):
acted a fool and told me if I came close
to her house, she'd have me arrested. That sealed the
deal for me, and I'm going to get my own
test done the next time my mama keeps the baby.
My mom said that they have some Caucasian people down
the line and their family, but those would have had
to be some strong jeans to make the baby this pale.
(01:53):
I know you're probably thinking I should mind my business,
but wouldn't you want your brother to know what's up?
And what's worse is he might know, and he's overlooking
the facts because he wants to please this woman and
be a good dad. If he is happy, should I
let it go or should I try to help him
see the light? You already answered the question in your letter,
(02:15):
and I know, I know you care and you want
the best for your brother. I get it. I have
a brother that I love very very much. But you
cannot want more for him, this grown man brother of yours,
than he wants for himself. You said, this woman, his wife,
has been in and out of his life for years.
He takes her back every time, and this time with
(02:37):
a baby that may or may not be his. So
her bad behavior is nothing new to him. Okay, he
knows exactly who she is. As hard a as it
is for you to sit back and watch all of
this go down, this is none of your business. Like
you said in a letter, this is between a husband
and wife period. I know you want to know if
(02:58):
the baby is really your niece nephew, but your brother
has already accepted the baby as his. So if you
interfere now and get the DNA results on your own,
when the baby comes to live with your comes to
stay with your mom, please just keep it to yourself.
Your brother obviously wants this baby, he wants to be
a good dad. He's claiming the baby. So what is
(03:19):
your meddling gonna do. I'll tell you what it's gonna do.
It's really gonna drive a wedge between you and your brother,
and you may or may not be able to bounce
back from that. So I say leave it alone. This
he doesn't want to know the truth if the baby
is not his, and he's saying the baby is his,
So this is his decision, not yours. Stay out of it, Steve,
(03:43):
I could.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Go so many different directions with this letter. Surely nailed
it for me. I mean, stop, you said it in
your letter. It's none of your business. You're taking up
a case that your brother not even taken up. Yo.
You so worried about who baby this is. You're more
(04:05):
worried about it than your brother. You know, you think
he been duped by his wife. He may very well
have been. She's been in and out of his life
for years. The AS's probably the case, and she's done
whatever she wanted to do within the marriage. You might
be able to verify improve all that he told you
(04:26):
all his wife ain't ever cheated on him. You beg
to differ. You think it's not true because the baby
came out looking like Colonel Sanders. Now that's some Benjamin
Butt's ass statement right there. You're trying to tell me
this baby looked like an old white man. That's what
you're trying to tell me. I don't think so. But
if that's what you want to do to try to
clarify your point, then find your brother is caramel colored
(04:49):
and his wife is a little bit lighter than he is.
Wait minue, now, it ain't a dog skinned person in
this letter so far. And you mad cause the baby
pail and you on this color spectrum that you working
on the color spectrum. We can't help you because we
don't know what color you're talking about. You talking about caramel,
(05:11):
lighter than that brighter light, bright, pale, you using all
these terms. You just don't like the lady what it
seemed like to me, and that's what your focus is.
And you know he's a sucker for his wife. I
can't stand to see him mistreated. You know, she's always
with her Caucasians best friend. And I think that girl's
(05:32):
brother is the baby daddy. You don't put a whole
story together. Then you said I called my sister in
law and told her I wanted to sit down with
her and go over to d DNA test with her.
You got a lot of nerves. I got to tell
you something you got a lot of nerve. I know
you got cussed out. I know you got cussed out because,
(05:56):
first of all, you gonna sit down and go over
the DNA test with her. It's not your DNA test.
And she cut up a fool and came and said
if I came close to her house, she'd have me arrested. Well,
that's the only deal for me. I'm gonna get my
own test done next time. My mama keep the baby.
My mama said, they got some Caucasian people down, girl,
(06:19):
Where are you going with all this? If they happy,
why are you in it? But I have the perfect
solution when we come back, all right, I know exactly
what this is about. When we come back.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
All right, Steve, we'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's
Strawberry letter, subject, I'm not sure whose baby this is.
We'll try and get to the bottom of it with
part two of Steve's response coming up right after this.
You're listening Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, Come on, Steve,
(06:55):
let's recap today's Strawberry letter. The subject is, I'm not
sure whose baby this is.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We have a problem in this letter right here. We
got a woman that's so damn nosy. She's upset that
she feels her brother's wife, who has been in and
out of the marriage, is using him in mistreating him.
All of this could be true. They got a baby,
and you don't think the baby is his because the
(07:24):
baby came out looking like Colonel Sanders. He caramel colored
and his wife is a little bit lighter than him,
and the baby lighted in both of them. So damn what,
but you all up in it? Now? You want to
have your own DNA test done. You don't threaten the
girl ask her because you come over to the house
and sit up with her and discuss the DNA test.
(07:46):
She would off on you, cussed you out, told you
if you come anywhere near the house, she have you arrested. Well,
that's sealed the deal for you, because now you're gonna
get your own DNA tests done. Next time your mama
over there keeping the baby, you gonna go over there
and swab the baby. Mouth.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Girl, what's wrong with you? Your brother ain't saying? Now, your
brother said they did a DN they test, but he
ain't followed with the roads were followed with the results
because he knows his baby. If your brother want to
go down that road, what is it to you? I
know you're probably thinking I should mind my business. You
(08:21):
got that right, You damn right about that.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We all on that. But wouldn't you want your brother
to know what's up? Not if he don't want to know.
And what's worse, he might know and he's overlooking the
fact because he wants to please this woman. And which
is the other reason you need to stay out of it.
Because if that's his reason for doing it, what you
got to do with that? If he's happy, should I
(08:49):
let it go? I try to help him see the light?
My friends, phil is there pointed duty. They keep trying
to tell me that all you want to do is
(09:10):
use me. But my answer to all that use me
stuff is I just want to spread the news that
if you feel this good getting used, or you just
keep on using me until you use me up.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Bill Witherus wrote a song about this called use me
My brother, that this is in this case is your system,
my brother. He's sitting me right down and he talked
to me. He told me that I ought to not
let you just walk on me. And I'm sure he
(10:01):
meant wear Hell.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But when I talk was through, I said, brother, if
your only new you the wish that you were in
my shoes, or you just keep on using me until
(10:26):
you use me? Huh lord? That was jail. It explains
its whole time. But then he even came to this.
He even says, sometimes it's true, you really do abuse me.
You get me in the crowd of high class people
and you act real rude to me. I better, baby,
(10:50):
when you love me. I can't get enough at all
talk talking about you using people. It all depends on
what you do. It ain't too bad the way you're
using me, because I sure am using you to do
(11:11):
the things you do. Do you understand what's happening here?
Bill Withers did, and he wrote a song about it.
Use me and just keep on using me until you
use me up. That's what this this letter is about.
(11:36):
I have nothing else to say to you. He liked
what's happening to him. There's nothing you can do about it.
She doing some things in him back in the house.
You're not gonna be able to count it. With the
little white baby or nothing else?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
What else you got?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
What else you got? It? Yes, the baby why.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, this is what families do.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Though at the house, though, have you seen what she
do to me? I'm telling me, you're talking about the
baby look like Colonel Sanders. I'm telling you this is
good as his chicken. This is Franker looking good. You're
(12:19):
up in here. You you owe me by something that
ain't fit the change. I'm telling you right now, Frankle
looking good. I'm not going nowhere. I don't give a
damn who babies. I know the baby was born with
a little black boat town on. I saw it. I
know the baby half white.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I know the baby looks like it ought to be
on the side of a bucket. The chicken, I got that.
But have you tasted her chicken?
