Mom states that she's only been 'really mad' at someone twice in her life. The first time was when she got into an argument with her then mother-in-law, Ruth (Smith) Cartwright when Ruth blamed Vicky for something Norma Jean "Tootsie" had done . "Tootsie" was a brat and Mom knew for a fact that Tootsie had caused the trouble and was Really mad when Ruth blamed Vicky. The second time was when she got into an argument with her next door neighbor - Carol Smith when we were living on Ch ippewa Street. Carol had a son who was the terror of the neighborhood. Carol was the type who believed her son could do no wrong yet so disliked Kenny and Kirk that they weren't even allowed in her yard. One day Carol got mad at Kenny and Kir k and started cussing them out. When Mom heard Carol, she came flying out of the house and confronted Carol; yelling at Carol at the top of her lungs for daring to get after Kenny and Kirk for Anything when her own son was such a terror. Mom s tates that she caused quite a scene. Mom was otherwise a very calm, quiet person who so minded her own business that she didn't even know the names of most of her neighbors much less socialize with them or get into conflicts with them.
