(PICS & BIO)
This clip is, slightly, a tribute to my grandmother—who was an alcoholic for most of her life, though she became "clean & sober" 10+ years before her death.
Prior to her C&S, Granny was a hoot! One of her vivid antics? Ummm...she'd take several cabs, arrive her destination, get out of the cab, and then PROUDLY proclaim to the cabbie:
"YOU pay for it...you-dah-one-with-dah-JOB!"
Please, ask me how many times she was arrested (LOL).
Even worse, Granny would come to our elementary schools (drunk), walk the halls, and callout to her grandchildren (3 of us)... all the while announcing that NONE of her grandchildren have the same daddy, and they ALL were NO #@!%$ GOOD!
[ENTERS: "Annie Mae" (video) and "Jessie Mae and Jesus" (video)]
Annie Mae and Jessie Mae were born when I was 10-years-old, after having to move in with Granny. During that time, I knew all about Drunk-Granny.
However, sober Granny threw-me-for-a-few-loops (new quirks) such as: We were awaken, EVERY MORNING between 3AM-4AM, to the sound of her VERBALLY logged journals—dating back to the 1940's-1960's.
Granny would LOUDLY narrate her reminisces—as if it were just yesterday. It amazed me...fascinated me how she would obligatorily speak of the past.
Engagingly, she would draw you into her storytelling...you'd listen carefully, surely not to miss the upcoming curve.
I MISS my Granny...but she lives on!
Wishing many giggles,

PS--Nervous about posting...appreciate the inspiration, TP...Otherwise, I would not have been courageous enough to put it on video.
