Love, Mama Vi

Yes, you guessed that right. It's time for another installment of Love, Mama Vi.

Just to bring you up to date - Mama really did send that letter to Coach Weis. She let me know in no uncertain terms that she is still waiting for a response. Only Mama.

Well, it seems that she not only sends letters, she makes phone calls too. (just so you know, I told her I started this new segment on the blog. She is fine with it, so I'm not talkin' behind her back, so to speak.)

Anyway - Mama is a little ticked off at the Gov. of Indiana. Seems she believes to the depth of her soul that he is a con-man. Now - so you understand, in Mama's book bein' a con-man is right up there with the worst of the sins. After all - Thou Shalt Not Lie. And Mama will NOT let you get away with it if she catches you!

So - she calls the Gov. A lot. She's on a first name basis with his secretary. In fact I'd not be surprised to find her on the Christmas Card List.

Anyway, Mama called a couple weeks ago. Seems the Gov. was flappin' his jaws and Mama caught a few inconsistencies. This is the conversation as she recounted it to me (also, I can't remember the girl's name so I'll just call her Asst.)

Mama: Asst.? Are you recording this?
Asst.: No Vi. The recorders not on.
Mama: I sure wish you would. I want to make sure he gets the message exactly the way I say it.
Asst: Don't worry Vi. I'll make sure I get it all down.
Mama: Well you tell That Man that he may con the good people of Indiana, but he's not gonna be able to con God. He'll have to make right for all his lies when he meets his maker.
Asst: (laughing) Well Vi. I'll make sure I tell him exactly what you said.
Mama: Thank You Asst. And you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Asst: (still laughing) You too Vi.

After I stopped laughing I told her she really needs to think about how she phrases things, that could have been twisted around to sound like a threat. And THAT is a phone call I REALLY don't want to get!

Anyway - his next press conference seems the Gov. stressed several times that he was NOT misleading the people.

Mama's convinced he got the message.

He better watch out. She's keeping an eye on him. And I KNOW from years of experience, that's not necessarily a comfortable spot to be in.

Letters, phone calls. Next thing you know Mama's gonna be on a road trip to Washington. God help us all if that happens!!!!
