Contra as Corn Con

It was Vondell who said “Contra as Corn Con”. I looked startled and Vondell explains, “That means that someone does not understand”. You see that term comes from cooking corn bread but you does it on the skillet not in the oven” she wen on to tell me that she was one of the first black women to graduate from Jackson State University with a degree in bookkeeping. “And”, she continued, “That police officer wants to date me. He said he was 51 and I told him I had a son that old” With a smile she continued, “I am 82 years old. I ain’t marrying no man!”
