What is it and why?

BUBBA IS SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH READING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR AND SAYS TO MAMA," IT SAYS HERE THAT THE WOMEN WERE OFTEN LEFT ALONE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME! WHEW! BET YOU WERE SCARED GRANDMA!" OF COURSE MAMA HAD A SHARP RETORT! THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE EXACT QUOTE BUT IT'S CLOSE!

Two Thelma quotes:
I never could respect anybody who'd marry one of my kids!

When you get to be my age you learn to respect the dead. You don't want to tick off anybody you might be seeing soon!

Some Thelma quotes...
"Gooood Lord!"
"Don't lay that at my doorstep!"
"I'm just a poor old widow woman."
I'll think of more....:crazy:

the Quotes I like best are

1) When Mama Yells "the Neighbors are just loving this !"

2) When Mama say Oh ooooooo

"Well what the..."

Vinton: Mama, look what you've done!
Vinton: Maa-muhh!
Thelma, when she talks to Carl, lol.

God, it's impossible to pick only 1---and I like the ones y'all said so far (especially the "you learn to respect the dead" one).

One of my favorites that always cracks me and my sister up is from the video camera episode:

Mama: "Lord, well it better not be one of them trashy music videos with a bunch of misfits in spandex gyratin' in the fog."

Lol, I get the giggles just typin' it! :D

Heh.

EPISODE WHERE IOLA HAS HER CAT FREEZE-DRIED AND IS ABOUT TO SHOW IT TO HER MOTHER.

MAMA: "ARE YOU CRAZY... YOU CAN'T SPRING KITTY RUXBIN ON THAT OLD LADY"

NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE EXACT QUOTE, BUT THAT IS THE GIST OF IT.

GREAT SHOW.
