I remember as a little girl, when I got to come visit Mam and Pap, Uncle Pete and Uncle Mac would be there, Mac always had some place to go, so he was gone a lot, Uncle Pete would hang around till I got up and we would have a biscuit with honey butter together in the kitchen. One morning Mam was doing up the dishes, and Uncle Pete jumped up from the table and run to Mam's side saying stop Mam, stop there's a Scorpion in the water, she said naw there ain't, she's swirling the dish water with her hand, telling him this, well he tried to take her dish pan and he was going to dump it out, and boy howdy, Mam was not having it, they fussed at each other for a min both having hands on that pan, finally Uncle Pete told her to let him dump it and he heat up a new pan of water to finish the dishes, and he'd do them for her, she agreed and when he dumped the water, out came a tiny black scorpion on the ground. Mam said well I'll be, Pete said I told ya so. He did what he said he'd do for her.I love ya Uncle Pete, and I pray you and Mam are having honey butter biscuits in heaven. You will be sadly missed, Rest In Peace.
