Ladies' Man

From all I been saying about my grandpa I'm sure y'all think I'm bragging. Truth be known my grandpa were kinda cast out of the family. It were his own doing. He were what was called a ladies' man. He had girl friends over the years of all stripes and colors. In fact it were known he did not discriminate in race, religion, or social being. My grandma talked to the preacher about it and the preacher talked to grandpa, but seems like grandpa always smoothed talked 'em all for years. He sat in church ever Sunday with his head held high even though his clothes and hair gave off the perfume of Saturday night. Finally grandpa solved the problem for all of 'em. He run off with a woman named Parmee what were part American Indian. They settled in Louisiana with this little girl she already had. All six of my daddy's brothers turned away from grandpa and all but one of his sisters did. Seems like she were the only one still under his spell. When grandpa died he left all his money to Parmee and when she died she left it to her daughter and her brother. One thing good come of all this. Daddy and all his brothers was always real good to their wives. And all the sisters married good and held their husbands to high standards. Except that one sister what stayed close to her daddy. She married three times, all to real rotten mens.
