| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and bird, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five dogs and a bird, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Why they bothered to do a study on this is beyond me. All they had to do was ask around. It's a pretty well-known fact, myself included, and I grew up a mere five miles from the sea. In the words of my late father, I swim like a rock. (My brother, on the other hand, is part dolphin. He swims like one, anyway.)
Happy Friday, y'all!!! I promise to be more consistent in my blogging next week. The past couple of weeks have been kind of crazy. Oh yeah, and if you see any black folks in a pool or at the beach looking baffled and somewhat panicked, please...throw 'em a lifesaver. Odds are they probably need it.

You know I find this to be more true than false. I don't know how to swim and neither does my husband, but our kids do. They had swimming lessons early but that wasn't big in my house when I was growing up. We played around in pools as kids but it was mostly splashing in the water.

Hilarious. I learned to swim in my twenties and then learned to scuba dive. This is a stereotype that does seem to be true.

I'm an excellent swimmer but my man can't swim for shit. He's got a belly though so he floats.
