The Quote:
"You don't need to tell me she's beautiful, I made her."
The back story:
My Mama and Daddy split when I was about 6,leaving my Mama with the task of culling through the boys who came by the house. Not that there was an endless stream but I made friends easy and it always seemed there was a new fella hanging around. She kept a shotgun by the front door and we weren't allowed to be in my bedroom with the door closed. A few ambitious young bucks would try to sidle up to her, and she would generally tell them the same thing. Always a straight shooter my Mama, literally and figuratively.
