Miss Lloyd Sherman:
Mom Beck, why doesn't my grandfather want to come in and see my mother?

Becky Porter:
Well, he mighty mad at she, and I guess she mad at he.

Miss Lloyd Sherman:
Why?

Becky Porter:
Your grandfather get mad when your mama marry your daddy.

Miss Lloyd Sherman:
But he's her papa, isn't he?

Becky Porter:
Sure 'nough.

Miss Lloyd Sherman:
Aren't papas supposed to love their little girls?

Becky Porter:
Yes, honey, they should.

Miss Lloyd Sherman:
It seems might funny to me.

Becky Porter:
It's 'cause all the Lloyds are stubborn. The old colonel is, your mama is, and you is.

Miss Lloyd Sherman:
I'm not stubborn! Don't you call me that!

Becky Porter:
Don't you stomp your foot at me. That don't change it, that just proves it.
