Bill Joe Chimes In

One thing Tanya Hyde didn't think of or expect was how much Bill Joe loved his mamma. She told him that night as they were getting into bed. He drew imaginary pictures on the carpet with his big toe and looked up at the ceiling for a few seconds. It didn't take him long to make up his mind. He told Tanya if it came down to her or his mamma he would take his mamma every time. She said she couldn't understand how he could leave his mamma and come to live with her and now he would pick his mamma's side of this argument. Bill Joe kinda sighed and said, "I reckon it's a matter of distance. You know mamma's just a couple of blocks away as we speak." That night he lay on his side of the bed and left Tanya on her side doubting her female powers. The next morning when Merijoan showed up ready for her daily devotional Tanya was forced to play her ace in the hole, a card even Bill Joe didn't know about. When Merijoan opened her Bible to a passage she had selected that had to do with living outside of marriage, Tanya told her she had something to say before the lesson began. "Lady, you need to know I am carrying your grand-baby."
