mubbie was a hoot. first time i met her, the leon, he said, "don't be offended if she's mean to you. she doesn't like white girls." this woman was larger than life, though scrawny as heck.
among other things:
* she had seventeen kids that lived, twenty-one in all.
* she divorced her husband. he moved next door and they snuck back and forth between the houses.
* she dipped snuff.
* she'd read her bible on the porch with a shotgun near her chair.
* she had a poor little chihuahua who had at least as many children as she had.
my favorite thing she ever did was take the leon aside one day last year to say, "leon? i love your daddy, but i have to tell you...he's a manwhore."
eta: the leon says that it wasn't a shotgun. it was a 38 special. tucked neatly inbetween the pages of a newspaper.
