Grudge Pregnancy

Let me start off by telling you that Hollis gave me a little lesson about the title of today's post. Like I told y'all I may be ignorant, but I ain't stupid, so if y'all want to know what that term means you'll have to use that google thing. Hollis says it's there. Enough about that. While Legion were fighting over in Italy or somewheres his wife Lila come down with pregnancy. He had been gone for well over a year so it didn't take too long to figure that one out. Legion's mama come over to where Lila were living (Legion's mama and papa was paying the mortgage) and let her daughter-in-law have it. Lila warn't giving no excuses except Legion shouldn't have left her alone in a one-horse town with two young'ns. Mama warn't having none of that. Lila claimed she were being run out of town. Mama said she had run herself out of town and asked what she were gonna do about her children. Lila said they was only half hers and she were gonna leave them with Legion's parents, one of which she were talking to. Well she did take off and we ain't seen her since. Nobody ever knew who the daddy was, but I reckon it didn't matter they was so many choices.
