Abby: Dude, you better not talk like that. You sound like a Baptist! [I totally have to wonder what she was saying that made her sound so Baptisty to her sister...]
Kady: I AM a Baptist!
Sam: No, you're not. Remember? Momma doesn't like 'them d*mn Baptists!'"
Abby: Well, she's a Baptist! She told me!
Sam: No....really?
Abby: Yep. Our mother is a Baptist.
Kady: (shaking her head) Momma's a d*mn Baptist.....

Swear to you -that conversation just took place in my living room. I really have to quit dissin' the Baptists around the kids.
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

On behalf of damn Baptists everywhere, we'd appreciate that. ;)
Damn Baptists! Cute kids! Thanks for sharing!
LOL...the things kids say!
Glad to see you posted today...I've been following the news of the flooding up there in your neck of the woods, and worrying about all my blogger friends that live in the area, so had to stop in and check on you! Stay safe and dry!
Damn Baptists! They probably think that's one word, huh? That's hilarious!
Around our house, we though Damn Yankee was one word. (No, not really. But you get the point.)
