A hilarious guide to that incomparable creature--the
Southern mother
Southern society is arranged along matriarchal lines,
since the Southern matriarch is a far more formidable
being than the much nicer Southern male. She has to be
this way; she was put on earth with a sacred mission: to
drum good manners and the proper religion--ancestor
worship--into the next generation.
In Some Day You'll Thank Me for This, Gayden
Metcalfe and Charlotte Hays, bestselling
authors of Being Dead Is No Excuse and Somebody's Going
to Die If Lily Beth Doesn't Catch That Bouquet,
deliver up a hilarious treatise--complete with appropriate
recipes from those finicky, demanding moms--on the joys,
trials, and tribulations of being the daughter of a
Southern mother. Including sections such as A Crown in
Heaven (a Southern mother's favorite fashion
accessory), Grande Dames, Toasting the Southern Mother,
and why grandmothers prefer their "precious angel baby"
grandchildren to their own "bad" children, this is the
perfect gift for any Southern mother--or daughter of one.
