Southern Ladies (Put it in my Glory Hole)

[jianantonic]

Yesterday was a very southern day for me.  I spent the afternoon at a bridge game (I've been playing like dookie lately, but I had a much better game yesterday.  Still not 100%, but we had some fun auctions, which I think Z is planning to post.), and then my mother wanted help polishing silver for Thanksgiving, so Z and I went over there. 

My mom has a ton of silver.  I don't mean that as in "my mom has a LOT of silver;" I mean, the silver that my mother has?  It weighs at least 2,000 pounds. 

So Z and I sat around the kitchen table with my mom, polishing silver like the good southern women that we are.  When we were finally done, Z asked my mom where something went, and she replied "just stick it in my glory hole over there."  She meant her junk drawer, but Z and I both cracked up.

"MOM!  Do not use that term ever again!"

"Why?  Glory hole?  It's a common southern term."

"It's a common pornographic term.  Erase it from your vocabulary."

My mom couldn't believe this, so what did she do?  She went over to her computer and Googled "glory hole."  Then she screamed.

My dad came in.

"What the heck?"

"Honey, your daughter just told me a term I've been using for years is dirty."

"Unh."

"Do you know what a 'glory hole' is?"

"That's a bad word."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!"

I love my parents.

I'm leaving for their house in a few minutes so we can all ride down to Blacksburg together today.  UVA manhandled Miami last week, so Tech has to beat them by at least 50 for me to feel good about this.  But I'm looking forward to it.  There's nothing like a home game at Lane Stadium.  Go Hokies.

Peace.

There's a sequel. When I was telling my brother this story yesterday on the way to the game, my mom piped up "And when the Google results came back, the first word I saw was COCKSUCKER!"

Ladies and gentleman, prepare for the apocalypse. My mother said "cocksucker."
