Ohhhh.....Family........
It's all my fault. I swear, sometimes I just don't think before I open my mouth.....
Last weekend I went to Mama Vi's. She and Dee were leaving early Monday to head out to my Aunt's house for the week long family reunion they have every year. I was not going this year.
Well, late Saturday night Mama and I were sittin' at her kitchen table talking. She was excited about seeing the family and was tellin' different stories about all her brothers and sisters.
Well, she mentioned my one Uncle's wife. She pulled a stunt a while ago that was very traumatic for me. It was a mean, spiteful thing to do and to be honest I've never really forgiven her. I'm not mean or nasty to her, I just avoid her when ever possible.
Oh, and I should mention that this particular Aunt is VERY bossy and controlling. Traits that she sorta kinda shares with Mama Vi.
Put 24 "matriarchal" women all in one kitchen for a week........recipe for disaster.
Dee just called. At 6:00 this morning. In tears. It's bad. It's really REALLY bad. Mama Vi is....umm....not happy. And openly hostile towards that one Aunt.
I should have never mentioned/reminded/refreshed what happened between her and I. I'm thinkin' that planted a seed that took root and Mama is bein' Mama. Protective.
Damn.........from what I'm hearing this whole week was U.G.L.Y. I know how Mama is when she has you in her sites. Geesh........
Yeah, I'll take responsibility for this one. Sometimes the junk in the closet just needs to stay there.

Sounds like Mama Vi can take care of herself in a scrap, though. ;)
Families are very good at hurting each other. Not really part of the charm, but there it is, nonetheless.
Boy, I sure can write a lot and say absolutely nothing. Guess that's why I blog. ;)
Ain't no way in the worl' be free I'm hangin' with 24 women in 1 kitchen... I don't give a damn how big the kitchen is.
