“I’ve got eyes in the back of my head and I’m watching you with them kid,” is what my mother used to say, in an exaggerated southern accent, every time she caught me up to no good. Yesterday, I found Antimo scurrying through a bag of biscuits like a hungry mouse, and out came the words in my finest Louisiana drawl –– “Hey boy, I see you with them eyes in the back of my head.” The apple does not fall far from the tree. At least, I hope it doesn’t. Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama, and all the wonderful mamas I know.
