Pochya and I met in 2000 and became Friends. We worked together and livef in the same trailer park. One day at work, I was taking care of some business and she told me to stop, we have something else to do. Little did I know at my tender age, we were going shopping for Christmas. Pochya started telling me about putting things on lay-away. I asked her, what was that. She said, come on, I will show you. I had no clue about lay-away, until she took me to K-Mart on Macon Rd. Of course I was scared, I sitting it was legal. The following week I went back and got the items. She said, you don't have to pay all that money at once. I was still scared. She used to fuss at me for allowing her kids to go in my refrigerator, I told her, it's my house, my food, let them kids be and to go to your own home. This was an on going thing with us and our kids. I love you "PO-KEY-A"!
