The Quote:
" Now, that boy you're carryin' on with, he's respectable and employed right?"
The Back story:
Mama's only want whats best for their daughters so long as they have a job...
And apparently dating means "carryin' on" with someone. When I was coming up I could've sworn "carryin' on" implied sexual relations...
Is it possible my mother automatically assumes that when I date someone we're having sexual relations? That's a terrifying thought.
I have a very unconventional southern Mama, she's been saying ludicrous things to me for as long as I can remember, and I've been writing them down for about as long. This is an organization of every southern idiom, compliment wrapped in insult and stinging remarks of love she's given me. Enjoy.

Drunk Geriatric Gardening
The Quote:
Mama: "Last Sunday Ken and I had 'Pink Poodles' for breakfast before going to work out in the yard."
Me: "You ate poodles?!"
Mama: "Of course not, it's pink grapefruit juice with vodka, the only way we can work in the yard together is to have a drink."
Me: "So it's drunk geriatric gardening now?"
Mama: "Sometimes you just need to imbibe darlin."
The Backstory:
Is it really necessary that I explain this? I'm pretty sure this one stands for itself.
