I saw this movie in the theater when I was very little. Mama Cass said it was okay to be different, so I was. She has a scene where she answers the telephone while bathing in a claw foot tub filled with fruit!
Shirley, my mother, insisted that I attend this film at *The Palms* when I was nine.... (I'm glad she did).
A few years later....
I was out in the field playing football with the boys, in our backyard (The unsinkable Wally Brown)..... Just then, my mother appeared on the back porch:
"HEY WALLY?" (Football game stops, in mid action.).
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" (Everyboy loved Ma)... "Mamma Cass just died......" (these boys have no idea why my mother & I were yelling over acres...)
I felt really sad, and all the boys knew it, (by-the-way, I was holding the ball).
After the sadness, I worked up my nerve and yelled: "How did she die?"
Yay!
ReplyDeleteYep!

Shirley yells back, no lie:
"SHE CHOKED ON A HAM SANDWICH....."
Then we played more ball.
