Things I Think About.

I mentioned my mother meeting Elizabeth Taylor and Bobby Kennedy, but she also met Lady Bird Johnson, which begs the question: what if Lady Bird Johnson married Larry Bird? Would her name be Lady Bird Bird?  Would people think she stuttered when she told them her name?

"Lyndon, I'm leaving you for another man."
"Who?"
"He's a basketball player."
"Oh my god - a Negro?!"
"No. Worse."
