Homeboys don't shake like Buisnessmen

Jacob went to a party at the next door neighbors house tonight. Saying that he was out of his element is a bit of an understatement. Our neighbors are really cool. Really cool gangsta types. I don't think they're really gangsters, but with my limited world view that is the only way I know how to describe them. They wear baggy clothes and gold jewelry. The family consists of a father, in his 50's, his wife, and their 19 year old son. Tonight they threw a bachelor party and invited my husband. Beer and weed were making their way round the party. Jacob has never and would never partake of either of these substances. He stayed at the party for about an hour, had a burger and tried not to appear too white or too naive. When they started collecting money for the stripper who was on her way, he decided to make his exit. One thing he learned tonight is, he doesn't know the proper way to shake hands with a homeboy. According to him, homeboys don't shake like businessmen.

So funny! I would've paid good money to see Jacob! I want to take Phil salsa dancing so bad but it will never happen. He already has a hard time in authentic mexican restaurants.

I think it's cool they invited him! They probably thought it was cool the "white dude next door" showed up. Hey, at least the gangstas are your friends!! Our "gangsta" neighbors hated us. They were scary.

Our gansta neighbors aren't scary at all. The 50 year old dad is really cool. He's always out on his front porch keeping an eye on the neighborhood. We say hi and have small talk every time we see him. He's actually really sweet.

I love picturing Jacob in this situation. I wonder if it is funnier in my head
