I was startled to hear my 80 YO mother scream from the other room.... [View all]

"I want my stuff"

As I ran to her with concern, I was relieved to see she had channel surfed to Faux News and was screaming at the TV! She was viewing a clip of Billo talking about how Obama voters wanted "stuff." I had to when I saw that. She yelled again, "I voted for Obama, when are they going to deliver my stuff?"

Forgive me, but this, coming from my mother, who worked all her life and raised seven children on her own after my father died, was a sight to behold. She normally doesn't have much of a sense of humor, but it was funny!
