Ma had no idea. She barely knew who we were going to be talking about. I had to show her some clips pre-show to set the seeds. And then, I took joy in telling the unfortunate story to Ma, as she started asking the obvious.
“Is she dead?”
Yes, Ma. Everyone but the kids. Sorry.
I had to take her out for whiskey and sundaes to clear our minds of the tragedies.
Umm… How’s your hot fudge?
