I remember shortly after I started dating Debbie that she invited me over for Sunday dinner to officially meet her parents.
Imogene had prepared her usual feast including fried chicken, tater salad, cornbread, slaw, and pinto beans.
Bennie had already filled his plate with food before the rest of the family even sat down at the table. As soon as we blessed the food, Bennie already had a fork in his hand. Never even looking up he said, “Alright, now Wayne just take out and eat like hogs, that’s the way we do it around here.”
So I did and that’s exactly how I first got acquainted with my future father in law. What a great man he was!
