Yes, This Conversation Actually Happened as Written
Me: Gracie, guess who's going to be on "Good Morning America" tomorrow?
Grace: Dolly Parton.
Me: Isn't it exciting?!?!? Your maw-maw's gonna be on the television!!
Grace: Dolly Parton.
Me: Your maw-maw.
Grace: You mean Dolly Parton.
Me: I mean your maw-maw. Say it! Say she's your maw-maw!!!
Grace: Dolly Parton.
Me: You better not let your maw-maw hear you call her that. Do you know how hurt her feelings would be if she could hear you right now? I just can't even believe you. Ungrateful is what you are.
(Insert dead silence and the cold stare of a 12-year-old girl child here.)
And Grace isn't invited cause she won't say maw-maw. So there.

7 Talk to Me:
Ungrateful child. You told her.
Bawahahahahaha!
I seem to remember the little man Max doing the same thing...what is it with your children refusing to acknowledge their grandmother?
I wish MYYYY maw-maw was Dolly Parton. But no. Her name's Char. Almost Cher, but not quite. She's a chain smoker who's raised all five of her babies and three of her baby's babies, so she is quite a remarkable woman. Cooks everything in Crisco, though. People up here don't understand the concept of a maw-maw. "YOU KNOW! My maw-maw."
"Your what?"
"My maw-maw!"
"Your mammal?"
"NO, MY MAW-MAW. She's a lady. Cooks everything in Crisco, though, it's terrible..."
"...what's a mammal?"
*facedesk*
I had to go watch it online after reading your blog. I love mawmaw!!!
Hey girl. I'm waiting till after the first of the year to do Canton, but I'm having a spa night/girl's night out, but in at my house the weekend after my birthday. If you want to come to Austin the first weekend in December, you are officially invited.
GunDiva: She still doesn't get it. What to do, what to do?
Foursons: Yes, it's very entertaining in our world.
QQAL: Oh, they think because she didn't birth me or actually raise me, she's no relation and that I might be crazy. Stupid logical kids ;0).
Julia: I swear to God, you leave the most hysterical comments!
Aunt Crazy: Isn't she simply fab??
Michelle: No problem, girl, because Max's little cub scout troop has a float in the Christmas parade and I just got to thinking that it's usually that first weeked of December. I'm not sure, but it used to be. What weekend is your birthday? I so need a few days away...
