they pulled my daddy off of them -- my mama and peter -- and helped them up off the ground , all the while my daddy was calling my mama all sorts of horrible names like chippie , and harlot an jezebel i guess its funny to listen to a preacher swear on account they dont get much practice and my mama was laying into him about breaking their straining order and how he was a crazy man and lettin out a much more colorful stream of swear words , which she was a lot better at than him on account she werent no preacher and had had a lot of practice all the years theyd been married .
