"But what are you going to say when she asks you about it?" I asked.
Lizzie cleared her throat. "Miss Watson, dat sum conebread lak I neva before et."
"Try 'dat be,' " I said. "That would be the correct incorrect grammar."
"Dat be sum of conebread lak neva I et," she said.
"Very good," I said.

Additional quotes by Percival Everett
The hard, gritty truth of the matter is that I hardly ever think about race. Those times when I did think about it a lot I did so because of my guilt for not thinking about it. I don’t believe in race. I believe there are people who will shoot me or hang me or cheat me and try to stop me because they do believe in race, because of my brown skin, curly hair, wide nose and slave ancestors. But that’s just the way it is.
