kybearfuzzMy mom was moved into a regular room yesterday, a room she shares with a lady from Hazard, KY (ever seen Patrick Swayze's movie "Next of Kin"... yeah THAT Hazard). Things have been pleasant, Mom is craving a cigarette something terrible, but at least she gets to have a regular Pepsi now.
Mom and her roommate are having a lively discussion regarding smoking. Both of them smoke and they don't understand why the doctors are getting so upset about it.
"Everybody can drink till their drunk and then drive up and down the road killing people, but you tell them you smoke and everyone gets huffy," says Mom.
"I know," says the roommate in her graveled, Weezie Jefferson voice,"that's because 90% of them drink."
I'd bet a fair amount of money, the roommate is a Baptist. She'd likely complain if they danced while drinking too.
The Baptist gals then start a discussion that could be construed by the lay observer (me) as the dueling banjos of family health problems. Roommate's father died of cancer, so did Mom's. Her mother passed away from a heart attack, Mom's mother died during heart surgery. And on and on...
Mom just returned the volley with "My mother never smoked, but she had emphysema..."
Nice shot, Mom...
