My Aunt Ruby took us in after my father died. Things she taught me:
Not to yell in the house.
Not to yell in the yard.
Family is family and all are welcome in your house.
Don't drink beer.
Wash your ears so potatoes don't grow out of them.
My Uncle Melvin treated me like one of his own sons. Things he taught me:
Don't stand on the back of the couch or I will make you stand on the back of the couch.
Don't jump on the bed or I will make you jump on the bed.
Be kind and help everyone you can. Especially family.
How to cut okra.
How to snap a chicken's head off with your bare hands and watch it flopped all over the yard.
Don't drink beer around family.
Love your family.
