My mom had a way with words.

Shortly after arriving in Halifax, I came home one day to find my mom in a terrible state. "What's wrong, Mom?" "Me son, I've done it this time. I should never have left Garnish." "Why not?" I asked. "Well, you knows how the small kids in the area comes in to play with our youngsters?" "Yes; what happened?" "Well, my son, one of their mothers called and asked if Tim and Tom was here; I said 'yes, they're about to leave,' I also told the lady that called that I was giving them a drop of liquor before they go home. The phone went dead, and the next thing I know the lady is coming in the door; me son, she was some red. Gathering up her kids, she called I right down to the lowest. She was going out the door with them before I had the chance to tell her."
"I'm having CARN BEEF and CABBAGE for supper and that's where the liquor come from, I yelled as she left."
