were swears - I loved her too. She once threatened to burn my mother alive.

6. funny story...

on her 72nd birthday (I musta been around 11 years old) I picked some wildflowers for her and saved my allowance to buy her a carton of Pall Malls (they were cheap back then).

She called me a cocksucking bastard. Turns out she smoked Camels.

like a chimney

I didn't know you were African-American. You're cool by me.

(both in their nineties) saying anything worse than damn. It would never happen!
