Mawsie

Many of the family tales that come out at family gatherings involve my Mom's mother, affectionally known as Ole Hen or Mawsie

Once, when she was visiting me in Watsonville for a week, I was enchanted with her openness:

"I's progues and prowls when you's not here." 

Or, "I's always keeps my self clean by douching with Lysol at least onest a week." (She was in her 80's at this point.)

Recently a friend sent the following: a look at the past through advertising. Looks like I need to reconsider some of Mawsie's wisdom.
