Can You Stand One more Aunt Pearl story?

Here it is:

Once my mother, Mary Ruth and I went to visit Aunt Pearl and Uncle Gola in Little Rock, Arkansas.  We stayed for three or four days.

Aunt Pearl cooked our breakfast every morning while we were there.  She would fry bacon and make eggs and the whole works for us. We all ate probably one or two pieces of bacon and the whole pound would just sit there left over.  Aunt Pearl would finish off the rest of what was left.  That absolutely stunned my mother!  She said. "Can you believe she ate almost a whole pound of bacon?" As I look back I don't really think it was that much but my mother thought it was  just  outrageous that she ate that much bacon.  Anyway, that is probably why Aunt Pearl  was as big as she was. Even  though my mother loved bacon she never ate but one or two pieces of it at a time. So, she thought, that  if you eat  more than that you are  a  PIG!

I can eat more than one or two pieces of bacon but not a whole pound. Anyway, at today's prices I doubt Aunt Pearl would eat that much either.

So much for Aunt Pearl!
