Conversations with My Lakota Mom, No. 1

—For my 70th birthday I want to hire them sexy Chippewa dancers to come entertain at my party.

—Don’t you mean the Chippendale Dancers?

—No, not the chipmunks!

Conversations with My Lakota Mom, No. 2

—Where’re we going?

—I’m taking you to lunch, buckle your seat belt.

—Where?

—Old Country Buffet.

—Hrumph

—What’s wrong?

—You’re taking me to Costco’s for the free samples, again.

—No. I’m not!

—Yes, you are, that’s where you took me last time. And then you tried to tell me the hotdog condiments was a salad bar.

—Fine. You’re on to me. But you like the samples. They have crescent rolls! It’s cheap and I’m in a hurry.
