striving to Strawberry Letter with my good friend, Shirley Strawby.
Thank you my good friend junior. Subject how did he
know where to put it? Okay, Dear Stephen, Shirley. I've
been married for six years and all was well in
(00:45):
my marriage until one of my closest friends moved to
my side of town. She's divorced, and she bought a
new home closer to where we live. When she and
her husband started to have problems, my husband stopped talking
to him because he didn't like the way her husband
treated her. My Grannie lives with us, and she didn't
(01:06):
understand why my husband cared so much. I don't get
into discussions about my husband and marriage with my grandmother
because she find fault with everything. When my close friend
would stop by our house, my Granny would keep an
eye on her. She didn't like my husband having kind
words for my friend at all. I took it with
a grain of salt because Granny is so negative most
(01:28):
of the time. But I did stop my friend from
popping up at our house before she went out so
I could see her dressed up nicely. Granny said it
was more for my husband than for me. It did
raise a red flag, but I didn't let Granny know.
Then my friend had a housewarming party and she needed
wood for her fireplace, so I told her we'd bring some.
(01:52):
My husband came in a few minutes after us, and
I asked him if he was going to get the wood.
He said he already put it out back. My friend
thanked him, and Granny asked how he knew where to
put it. A hush fell over the room. He said
he assumed it went on the patio. Granny then asked
(02:13):
how he knew where the patio was. Come on, Granny,
he said, he assumed it was out back. My friend
and my husband looked uncomfortable, and Granny looked at me
and whispered, don't be stupid, Tam. Is she just being granny?
Or am I being stupid? What is going on? All right?
(02:35):
It's a little bit of both, meaning that granny was right,
and yes, you were stupid for ignoring that feeling you
had and your gut or the red flags as you
call them, red flags pop up for a reason. Okay,
that's why they're called red flags. And when you know
and when has anyone's granny been wrong about this kind
(02:56):
of stuff? Okay, it's called wisdom. It is called wisdom.
It's called they've lived long enough to have seen just
about everything in life, and they certainly know when a
woman is trying to get at another woman's man. It's
just something that granny's have, okay, older women. But the
really stupid one here is your husband. Your husband who
(03:17):
couldn't even play off the fact that he knew exactly
where everything was at your friend's house because why because
could it be that he's been there before? Sounds like it.
It looked very suspicious when all you guys were inside
and he took the firewood and put it in the
very place it was supposed to go. He didn't come
(03:39):
in and ask your friend any questions about where it
should go. He didn't bring it inside and put it
down somewhere anywhere, Nope, he put it where he always
puts it when he comes over. And that's when Granny
knew for sure, and she put him on blast with
her questions. And Granny's right, you know that. Don't be stupid, Tim, No,
(04:00):
you didn't catch them together, and you don't have any
facts or anything, but you got your granny on the
case and clearly something is going on. So thank you
to the granny in this letter, and for all the
grannies out there, Steve. It is so hard to follow
this one because who wants to respond after that eloquent
(04:22):
display of respect for the elder. I usually want to
be respectful of elderly people, but damn this woman all
the respect A relation, admiration critic, because she's just gave
it up, you know, Sirley, trying to go Christian on
(04:45):
this one. Honored our mother and their father and our
days on this earth. She'll be long, you know. I'm
I'm really been to run the risk and getting cut
off early because I don't really I see some other
stuff in this letter, so yea, I go. How did
he know where to put it? You've been married for
six years and everything was going good until you One
(05:08):
of your closest friends moved on your side of town.
She got divorce and she bought a new house closer
to where y'all live. And when she and her husband
started to have problems, your husband stopped talking to him
because he ain't like the way her husband treated her. Well,
obviously he had some information y'all didn't have because they
was boys, and he kind of went your old dog,
(05:31):
that's like real stink. Damn, he didn't stop, so that's natural.
My grannie lives with us. See right there, right down,
My grannie lives with us. Let's talk about the decisions
your old ass can make to make. You have to
live with your grand not your children, Oh damn grandkids.
(06:01):
Your mama and your danny didn't want her staying with
so now granny staying with you. Who Some people know
some stuff about Granny that you don't know. And she
didn't understand why your husband cares so much. I don't
(06:23):
get into discussions about my husband and marriage with my
grandmoma because she finds fault with everything and why she
at your house. That's why she ain't at your mama's
house or your daddy's house. She know she didn't broke
up a lot of families. I bet you hold that thought. Steve,
hold that thought. We'll have part two of your response
coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's
(06:45):
Strawberry letter subject how did he know where to put it?
We'll come back with part two of Steve's response right
after this. You're listening Steve Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter, the subject how did he
know where to put it? Yeah, you've been married for while,
your closest friend got divorce, bought a house over there. Boy,
(07:07):
you and your husband, your husband started having problems. And
when they started having problems, your husband stopped talking to
her husband because he said he didn't like where he
treated her. Your grandmama live with y'all, and she didn't
understand why my husband kids so much. Because your grandmama
knows it. I don't get into discussions about my husband
(07:29):
and marriage with my grandmother because she finds fault with everything.
Why is your grandmama staying with y'all? Why is the
grandmama not staying with her daughter or her son. Why
she got to skip over and stay with her grandkids
because she didn't already broke up your mom and daddy's home,
(07:50):
so they wasn't gonna have it. So now she over here,
and now guess what she fit to break yours up?
Because she find fault with everything. Everybody don't know, won't
living getive ass granny living with them, but you don't
know no better. When my close friend would stop by
a house, your grandmama would keep eye on her. She
didn't like my husband having kind words for my friend
(08:12):
at all. I took her with a grain of salt.
Your grandmama done nothing. This old bitter ass old lady
by herself, that's what she is. Old bitter ass old
woman by herself, staying with her grandkids. Can't stay with
her own kids, got to stay with her kids kids.
She got a skipper generation because she then broke up
too many houses. And everybody know about your grandmama, said y'all,
(08:35):
because you still remember her giving you candy, But she
got different kind of candy. Now it's called poising. What, Yeah,
she got a different kind of candy. Nine it's called
poising because my granny is so negative most of the time.
That's all the time. What is your old ass done
that has caused you to have to live with your
(08:57):
grand kids because she negative. Granny don't like no damn body.
And I got news for you. Don't nobody like Granny,
but I but I did stop my friend from popping
up at our house because when she went out so
I could see her all dressed up nicely, Granny said
(09:18):
that was more for my husband, that's for me. Granny
just keeps staying the pot up. See, Granny ain't got
no man. Granted had a man in a long time.
Granny man left pull. Now she mad about everybody man. Now, now,
ain't nobody got a good man? Because so Granny all
me and his dogs, yours, your mama's, your dad? Is everybody?
(09:40):
Granny walking ass home record love Granny. Then my friend
had a housewoman party. Now this is what through me.
Then my friend had a housewoman party and she needed
wood for her five place. What who's the party? And say, hey,
man Franks and wood. I bring some drake, bring from
(10:04):
tat salad, bring cups, bring play, bring a little meat
with you, bring some who throw a party and asked
us some damn firewood. That was just hard to me.
I ain't out there with a lot of parties. I
had a lot of stuff under my arm. I ain't
(10:24):
ever walked in with some logs on the barm. I
never id them bought one alcohol, cheese trays. I just
showed up with some stuff, gifts bags. Yeah, not no
wood though, so I told her we bring something. My
husband came in a few minutes after us, and I
(10:45):
asked him if he was going to get the wood.
He said, he already put it out back. Now. My
friend thanked him, and Granny asked, let's see right here.
Why it's Granny at the damn part. Grammy knows the
ass over to the party, Granted asked. My friend thanked him,
and Granted asked how he knew where to put it?
(11:09):
A hush fell over the rule. How he know where
to put the wood? Because wood has a double meaning
and where to put it? So now that's why the
hush fell over the room, because he could make this
double connotation statement, well, how you know where to put it?
Now everybody got to figure out what is her old
ass talking about? Put where? Put the wood? Where? Because
(11:32):
we're talking two things now. So then the hush fellow rule,
he said, he assumed it went on the patio. Granted,
then asked how he knew where the patio was. Where
all hell, all patioles is in the back. If it
if it ain't in the back, it ain't a patio.
(11:52):
If it's in the front, it's a poach. See that
old ass statement right there. How he know where the
patio is because all patios is in the damn back? Man?
Kind of ignorant? Is that? Because she a home record,
(12:12):
he said, He assumed it was out back. I have
told her, hey, old hell for all patios is in
the back. My friend and my husband looked uncomfortable, and
Granny looked at me and whispered, don't be stupid, yo, man,
Just like all of my means is dead. Mean, I
ain't been able to keep a man no, how so
(12:35):
why would I want to see you one? I don't
got rid of your mommy and daddy's relationship. That's why
