On Monday morning, January 4, 2021, Xavion Geralds woke up with an extra $600 in his bank account. He ran around the house, singing, "I got my stimulus! I got my stimulus!"

Then, his older brother, Norman, sighed & said, "Dude! U da only 1 stuntin' ovah a small stimulus check, bruh! Now, how are excited about THIS 1, but you didn't give the $1,200 check that same energy? People can't even get their bills paid with this $600!"

Xavion responded, "Now, c'mon Norman! I don't care if the stimulus check is $10! The government FINALLY gave us SOMETHING because you know how they've been teasing us for months. That's why I'm so excited."

Norman was like, "OK, Silly Stimuloso! Sad thing is, people still can't even feed their kids!"

Xavion said, "Alright, we gon' see! We gon' see! I ain't got no kids, NO WAY! What you complainin' for, & you got 14 kids with 14 different baby mamas, & you've been in & out of jail & ain't neva worked a day in yo' life? Haha!"

Norman nearly had an emotional meltdown after Xavion told him this. Norman is 1 of those guys who freeloads off of random women, gets them pregnant & then runs off. He's also a drug dealer & alcoholic. He doesn't even TRY to get a job, but no one will hire him because of his criminal history. He's lucky that his younger brother took him in. Otherwise, he'd be on the streets homeless.

Xavion, on the other hand, prefers flexibility, so he works temp service jobs & has a couple of side hustles, such as Uber & Uber Eats, & he also cuts grass. He also donates sperm & plasma.

"Alright, Stimuloso! Let's see how long that $600 lasts you. I'm not even ELIGIBLE for any stimulus check, so I'd APPRECIATE IT if you stop tryna rub it in my face!", Norman said.

Xavion said, "Ok, so I guess my new nickname is Stimuloso now? 'Cause that's what you keep calling me. It's not even a big deal. You're unnecessarily creating an argument when there should be none. Are you THAT jealous? Let's split the $600 & see who spends it faster. Deal? Because I know what you're gonna spend it on. I ain't even trippin'."

Norman didn't even respond. He got REALLY quiet! Then, he shook his head. Then he said, "KEEP your lousy $600!" & then broke down, crying & then walked out of the door, sobbing & took a long walk elsewhere & didn't come back for days.

Xavion chuckled & said, "That's what I thought." & then, he invited some friends over for a spontaneous "Stimulus Party", & then they turned it into a potluck. Besides bills & important things, Xavion & his friends took turns showing off the products that they bought & then streamed the event Live on Instagram.

THE END
