Synopsis: On the short drive to the preschool, I dutifully unwrap a NutriGrain bar and toss it into the back seat to my four-year-old. Sometimes Ill even unwrap one for myself. Studies have shown that its very important for familes to eat together. . . . Why couldnt the Sopranos survive living down South? Simple. You cant shoot a guy full of holes after eating chicken and pastry, spoon bread, okra, and tomatoes. What does a Southern woman consider grounds for divorce? When Daddy takes the kids out in public dressed in pajama tops and Tweety Bird swim socks. Again. What is the Southern womans opinion of a new fat virus theory? Bring it on! Weve got a lot of skinny friends we need to sneeze on. Want to become honest-to-Jesus white trash? Spend two weeks salary on hair extensions and pancake makeup for your three-year-old so she can win a five-dollar trophy in the Wee Tiny Miss pageant and the adoration of, well, nobody much. What does the Southern woman think of Paul McCartneys marriage to a model thirty years younger? Were not surprised. Statistically speaking, its almost impossible for billionaires to discover that their soulmates are fifty-five and restocking the shampoo end caps at Kmart. In this wickedly funny follow-up to her bestselling Bless Your Heart, Tramp, Celia Rivenbark welcomes you, once again, to the south she loves, the land of Mama and thems, precious and dahlin, and mommies who mow. Yall come back now, you hear.
