My Louisiana Sky2001

Jewel:
You spent too much.

Dorie Kay:
I was trying to get you something nice for your birthday. Something the whole family could enjoy.

Jewel:
Well, we sure could've enjoyed a new toaster. You should be saving your money.

Dorie Kay:
I work hard and I spend sensibly.

Jewel:
And I suppose it's sensible to have a colored maid to clean your apartment and cook your meals?

Dorie Kay:
It most certainly is, Mama. Most days, I wake up at the crack of dawn and I'm not back until late in the evening. If I didn't have Magnolia, I'd never get a home-cooked meal.

Jewel:
Well, I never had a maid in my kitchen. I just cook my own stew.

Dorie Kay:
Mama, do we have to argue about this?
