Table 4 Excerpt 4

I did not think-

I thought it would be a joke!

So, I was like, “Dad?

You can’t wear

the American flag with the Twin Towers to work-

the tie.”

“I really feel like

[eⁱ ɽɪli fiil leⁱk]

there's a lot of respect

[ɖeɽs e lʊʈ əv ɽɪspect]

that has happened after I wore this, you know.

[ɖet hes hepenɖ eftəɽ eⁱ voɽ ɖɪs, iu nʊ]

[ɖi veⁱt əmeɽɪkɪn ɖʊkʈeɽs]

I was like, “I- I noticed!”

He’s like a brown man,

and like- it’s so weird.
