Here's One On Aunt Earnie

Aunt Earnie-my mother always loves to laugh and cook but she has this protective instinct similar to those of wild animals. One day when I was in my early teens I was working at the restaurant with her. She told me to mop the floor. The mop was huge and that mop bucket must have held 10 gallons of steaming water, soap and bleach (mom bleaches e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g). There was a guy who was older than me -you know the type greased hair, black leather jacket, cuban heels- sitting at the counter and I wasn't paying much attention to him but evidently mom was. He made some remarks and called me Cinderella. The next thing I saw was mom jerking him off the stool and roughing him up! I think she threw him out-it's kind of a blur it happened so fast and was pretty unexpected. Earnie doesn't take any crap so you might want to remember that. I can only imagine what she and A. Aud were like when they went out together! I bet they have some good stories!
