Two phone conversations with Mamaw...

#1
I called her on my way to pick up some dinner for Zach and I from Zaxby's

Me: Can you hold on a sec while I order?
Mamaw: Sure.
Me: ordering "Big Zack Snack with sweet tea, order of buffalo fingers, order of french fries, and an onion peel"
Me: Ok I'm back. Sorry about that
Mamaw: What is a peeled onion?
Me: What? Oh, an onion peel is kinda like onion rings.
Mamaw: Oh. And what is buffalo fingers.
Me: It's a kind of sauce on the chicken fingers.
Mamaw: Hmm. Are ya'll having company tonight?
Me: No. Why? Are you saying that's a lot of food for just two of us?
Mamaw: Laughing... "Well..."

At least she's honest!

She called me for a few minutes tonight. One of the things we talked about was her conversation with my dad earlier tonight regarding his birthday card that she sent him. I'm so thankful I first heard of this from her! This is her retelling the story to me...

Mamaw: Steve called me tonight and the first thing he said was...
Steve: Momma, the next time I see you I'm gonna whip your booty
Mamaw: Now, Steve, why are you gonna whip my booty
Steve: I just am. The next time I see you I'm gonna whip your booty.
Mamaw: Steve, I don't know why you're gonna whip my booty. What did I do?
Steve: You just wait. I'm gonna whip your booty.

At some point he must have told her the reason was because of his birthday card. Something about birds and golf and inside was a packet of birdseed. Which apparently made a huge mess when dad opened the card, requiring him to have to get the shop vac out to clean it up.

This whole conversation was hillarious to me. You just have to hear my sweet grandmother's southern accent while retelling the conversation. She said the word "booty" about 5 times in 30 seconds. I was laughing so hard I was crying.

How thankful I am for conversations like these!!
