reflective surfaces

SH: I’m sorry I’m being ridiculous
It’s ok honey, please don’t, please don’t cry because you know I will too! I have a strict policy that no one cries alone in my presence.
SH: Enough, I love my hair
Whew! My artistic nature is so relieved

SH: Was she praying?
Yes
SH: Why
Who knows! Maybe she was praying for Marhsall, and Drew and Belle. Maybe she praying for us because we were gossiping. Maybe she was praying because the elastic is shot in her pantyhose? Who knows! She prays at the drop of a hat these days!
SH: How long has she been this way?
Ever since Mardi Gras, she had her choice of going to a bible weekend with her sunday school class or to New Orleans with me and two other sinners. She left that Friday a pleasant well adjusted young lady and she returned on Tuesday a Christian
SH: It makes me feel creepy
Well I’m torn. On the one hand I have two sons that I’m afraid are heading to hell in a handicart, and a semi daughter that strives to be the kind of girl Jesus would bring home to mama. I don’t know what to think. I don’t understand those people But they sometimes seem to have a peace about things that I’ve never had. Maybe I’m just jealous
SH: What does her boyfriend say?
Sammy’s so confused! He doesn’t know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt! He’s crazy about her. He says he could deal with another man in her life but he has trouble with the father, the son, AND the holy ghost!
