She pulled a pitchfork on him and kept the cherry. Story came about because great grandma had a shit-ton of oval shaped, hazy photos up in the 80’s, from her sharecropper days. I commented that farm work in a ground length skirt sounded hard, and I got the skirt story. Old folks have good stories, but you have to say something that triggers the memory or you’ll just sit there and stare at each other.

I found that asking about the pictures brought forth stories. For instance, my great uncle Ellis wasn’t related to me which I did not know until I pointed at him in an old pic. My grandfather heard from his sons that Ellis’s dad was sexually abusing the boy, Papaw confronted him, a battle ensued, my grandfather killed him,(in self defense). Then he invited the orphaned boy to live with his family. And the law didn’t give a fuck. Great story, and if I had’ t pointed at a guy and asked ‘who’s that’, I never would have known my Papaw cut a pedos throat.
