On Sunday, #BlackPlotTwists started trending on Twitter and reminded us all of our childhood. What if our parents didn’t clapback when we asked for something at the store? What if food was served at the cookout early? We all went down memory lane with the hashtag.
The trend actually started on Tumblr…
