my mutha, always the devil

so i chatted with my mom this morning. she started crying when we spoke about the award. and then, through the tears, she exclaimed: it's just like the people's choice awards.

for the fans of reese and riley...she also reported two funny things.

1. reese sometimes gets a little rowdy. this is one of the reese-ons i admire her and love her so. but i am her devoted auntie who lives very very far away from her. i relish in the details of her life and her brother's, but i do not actually have to deal with them day to day. the other day, she got a little frisky and started throwing objects, crying: "i want my mommy." so my mommy, her grandmommy, scooped her up and snapped: "fine. i am taking you to her." so, my mom packed things one and two up, buckled them into the mini-van and wheeled them to their home to lutherville. en route, my mother decided to reese-on with little girl. she clarified and threatened (or promised?): "reese, when you throw things, i will take them away from you." thing one chimed in: "grandmama, when reese throws things, i will try to catch them."
2. reese is going to immaculate conception pre-school in the fall. her mother is worried about how to spin the possible requirement of a uniform.
