Right now I am at Tiffy's house, waiting for the game to start (you know, THE GAME), but it is 45 minutes until kickoff so I am blogging about her Great-Aunt Sister Mary Victor. As you may have guessed, this particular relative of hers was a religious sister, and in fact a sister in a teaching order. She had another sister who was also a sister and was very quiet and demure, but Sister Mary Victor could give as good as she got. One of her students once told her to go to Hell, and she replied, "You run your own errands!"
Tiffy's personal experience with Great-Aunt Sister Mary Victor's raucous sense of humor was when she was a little girl and wondered about a painting in her grandparents' house. It was a painting of a mill with a water wheel, and she wondered why the water was brown instead of blue, like in most paintings. Without missing a beat, Great-Aunt Sister Mary Victor said, "It's because of all the little kids swimming in it." Hah! Last night as we were eating at an Italian restaurant that used to be referred to as Emphysema's before the state-wide smoking ban, Tiffy said if she were ever a nun, that's the kind of nun she would be, and I agreed.
Gotta go - gotta see the Packers slaughter the Bears! GO PACK!!!!
