we went to church
if Mom felt like it.
Mostly she didn't.
So we went to the matinee
instead.
and aunts and uncles and cousins
We all had Sunday dinner together
and Tudaddy let me dunk my bread in his coffee.
I took the name of the Lord in vain
when I was four
I said to Mom
Where are my g--d--- undershirts?
and told the story to everyone.
And all my uncles laughed and slapped their knees.
and banged pots and pans in the kitchen when she cooked
and stayed in bed late in the morning.
She loved to be lazy.
Daddy worked on the railroad
and hurried home every night
so he and Mom could smooch.
None of us had ever heard
of the Lord's Army.
We were just folks.
So why would God call on us?
Thanks for voting for my Diary at ChristSites!
When we lived in Pittsburgh
Gramma lived there
We were happy.
Life was good.
Mom laughed
Mom laughed a lot and sang a lot
