*** Also, when she was bathing me as a little kid: “You’ve got so much dirt behind your ears you could grow POTATOES on your head!”***
Cute story! and a precursor to your gardening ways!
*** I was never very ‘Lady-like.’ ;)***
I wasn’t much either. I did learn how to curtsy so I wouldn’t offend from my lack otherwise. One set of grandparents was very “proper”, and the other ones were my “real” grandparents, immigrants. They didn’t care. I ran around barefoot around them.
With my other grandparents, I learned all the appropriate etiquette rules by the time I was 10. Quite a contrast.
I still know all the rules, and taught them to my children also, but I’m just a Southern country girl at heart.
Oh, and I’ve been elevated in title this evening! Previously I have been the “Gravy Queen”. Tonight he called me the “Gravy Goddess”. I think that’s better, isn’t it? All I know is that I can take nuthin and make it into SOMETHING.
