Jamaica Kincaid, "Girl"

Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash thecolor clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry; don't walk bare headin the hot sun; cook pumpkin fritters in very hot sweet oil; soak your littlecloths right afteryou take them off; when buying cotton to makeyourself a nice blouse, be sure that itdoesn't have gum on it, because that way it won't hold up well after a wash; soak salt fishovernight before you cook it; is it true thatyou sing benna in Sunday school?; always eatyour food in such a way that it won't turn someone else's stomach; on Sundays try towalk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming; don't sing benna inSunday school; you mustn't speak to wharf-rat boys, not even to give directions; don'teat 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 button-hole for the button you have just sewed on; this is how to hem a dress when you see thehem coming down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the slut I know you are sobent on becoming; this is how you iron your father's khaki shirt so that it doesn't have acrease; this is how you iron your father's khaki pants so that they don't have a crease; thisis how you grow okra-far from the house, because okra tree harbors red ants; when youare growing dasheen, make sure it gets plentyof water or else it makes your throat itchwhen 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 toomuch; this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this is how yousmile to someone you don't like at all; this is how you smile to someone you likecompletely; this is how you set a table for tea; this is how you set a table for dinner; thisis how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this is how you set a table forlunch; this is how you set a table for breakfast; this is how to behave in the presence ofmen who don't know you very well, and this way they won't recognize immediately theslut I have warned you against becoming; be sure to wash every day, even if it is withyour own spit; don't squat down to play marbles-you are not a boy, you know; don'tpick 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 ishow to make doukona; this is how to makepepper pot; this is how to make a goodmedicine for a cold; this is how to make a good medicine to throw away a child before iteven becomes a child; this is how to catch a fish; this is how to throw back a fish youdon't like, and that way something bad won't fall on you; this is how to bully a man; thisis how a man bullies you; this is how to love a man; and if this doesn't work there areother ways, and if they don't work don't feel too bad about giving up; this is how to spitup in the air if you feel like it, and this is howto 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 goingto be the kind of woman who the baker won't let near the bread?
