Mississippi MAMA




A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids... "WOW," the social worker exclaims," are they ALL YOURS???"
"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy."

All the children rush to find seats.

"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to sign up. I'll need all your children's names."

"This one's my oldest - he is Leroy."

"OK, and who's next?"

"Well, this one, he is Leroy, also."

The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy.

Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!

"All right," says the caseworker. "I'm seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?"

Their Momma replied, "Well, yes-it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!' An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all comes arunnin.' An' if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin' them all Leroy!"

The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?"

"I call them by their last names."

when I lived in Florida I worked on MLK Blvd in Riviera Fl. One time just before the parade I had to drive down the blvd to the island and to stay short I was the ONLY CRACKER on the road and no one was smiling. :eek:

Ahhh!!! those wonderful memories, Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley had us Illinois National Guard Military Police 233rd M.P Battalion march in the Bud Billigan day parade many, many, years ago, if I remember right Bud was the black Santa Claus in Chicago, and I probably misspelled his last name. Riot trained military police in an all black parade in formation with steel pots and shoulder weapons. I guess he wanted to send a message, the message we got was, this is what we look like up close and this is what you look like up close, now where's something cold to drink, sure was a hot day the first time we did it. Have no idea what the black community thought about us marching in their parade back then.
