This young man really needs a new girlfriend

The “Dirty South”?????  This is unbelievable, especially coming from NYC, which I’ve never been to, but I have NEVER heard as being a pristine place.  And these people eat biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy????  Oh, the horror!!!!

This is more true now, than when I grew up

Although I admit to doing this with my own child, it wasn’t as true when I grew up, and friends of my own age agree.  Any misbehavior was met with “the look”, a promise of terrible trouble “once I get you home”.  The Look was generally enough to throw the fear into me! Mom was […]
