Spitting on Her Shoes

October 19, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

Very, very funny

There’s a terrific vignette in Carrie Fisher’s one-woman show and book, Wishful Drinking. She tells the story of her mother, Debbie Reynolds, being disciplined by her own mother, Carrie’s grandmother, in Texas. After sassing back or some such offense, Debbie Reynolds’s mother puts Debbie in the closet to teach her a lesson. After about an hour, sitting in her mother’s closet, Debbie Reynolds asks for a glass of water. Her mother wants to know why. Debbie Reynolds says, “Because I’ve spit all over your clothes and now I want to spit all over your shoes.” [Read more…] about Spitting on Her Shoes

Finding My Place in the Choir

September 28, 2012 by Tricia Rose Burt

One time years ago in church, the person sitting next to me said, “Ew, you sing alto.” Well, she may not have actually said the “ew”, but it was implied. Obviously, being an alto was somehow less than, and since then, I have tried to sing soprano. Not the wildly high notes that sound like angels, just the notes that make up the melody. It usually never works. [Read more…] about Finding My Place in the Choir
