  1. Gibbs Family Riot Part One... Okay, this time I laughed so hard I had tears!
    About the two Brian's, I have a tale to tell.
    Mom and I lived with my grandparents and my Aunt Norma until I got married. Aunt Norma was Mom's baby sister and I was named Norma Jean after Norma Jean Lawson. So for many years I was referred to as Little Norma until I became her heighth and twice her weight. Aunt Na, my nickname for her, was a skinny little bit of nothing who had played basketball for the Lady Cardinals when she went to U of L.
    Gradually, the family called me Najean, Najie or -- what I use now -- Naj. (Grandpa called me Snooks after Fanny Brice's character Baby Snooks!)
    When I was a teenager, Aunt Na became 1 and I became 2.
    Christmas was fun. The gifts between the two of us were addressed To 1 From 2 , To 2 From 1. Drove the nosey neighbors and relatives nuts when they would peruse presents not addressed to them.
    Aunt Na and I got a lot if laughs about that. After the nosies were gone, of course... **TeeHee**

    Adored this chapter! Still rolling...
    ---Naj 🥰🥰🤣🤣❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻🐈🐈🐩

    1. Ah ha, NOW I know where "Naj" comes from, thank you for sharing and I'm sorry it's taken me nearly 2 years to see and reply to your comment. That's a wonderful story!
      Hope all is well with you - Deb
