Mama's Family

"Uhh-ohhhhh!"

"I only drove one time in my life--1946. I started out with a sedan and I came back with a convertible!"

"(to Iola) Get out, you jokin' jackass!"

"I swear, I can't understand why they don't hold these church bazaars in the dead of winter when people can stand to be in their kitchens!"

"Ellen, what a sweet thought. No wonder I love you best. You were my first born and you are my favorite. Should have quit while I was ahead."

"Naomi, What a sweet thought. No wonder I love you best. You're like the daughter I never had."

"Eunice, what a sweet thought. No wonder I love you best. You were my third born and you are my favorite. Third time's the charm."

"(to Naomi) Your idea of a workout includes a man, a bed, and a cigarette afterwards!"

"Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just lovin' this!"

"(to snobbish Nita Peterson) Nita, you've got a lot of class for a dame with a rip in her drawers!"

"(to Eunice) You wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the butt!"

"(after an unkind remark by Ellen) I'm gonna break your teeth Ellen, pass 'em over!"

"[To Thelma] NOW who's the tramp!"

"(Naomi is making her "Famous International Stew") The ingrediants are two cans of stew (pours in stew), canned peas (pours in peas), Mexican beans, (pours in beans) Ole! Saurkraut (pours in canned sauerkraut, saying in a deep voice) Ja Wohl! And for an Italian special (blows a kiss) Spaghetti- O's! (pours in Spaghetti-O's)"

"Thanks a lot, Mama!!"

"Mama, what have you done?"

"Skeeee-teeeer!"
