Minny- I can't imagine working for someone and having to keep it a secret. I've kept secrets at work before and it is not as comfortable as you would want work to be. I had to keep a secret that I didn't know my boss growing up or at all. He was my older brother's best friend. He recruited and hired me and always looked after my interest. So I played the game and it worked. We scratched each other's back and he was the best boss ever!
Now with Minny and Celia, this is a bit different. Celia is claiming to be the amazing house wife that cooks and cleans. This is not what I did. I actually performed and earned my keep. My boss just made things easier and helped me out.
Minny is so mean when she talks about Miss Celia. I cringe a bit sometimes because Miss Celia means well and is the new girl in town. She seems misunderstood.
Chocolate pie- the introduction to the famous pie. I like how she relates to the pie and just says, "Never again after Miss Hilly".
Women like Minny are hard to deal with but they are honest.
"it's Tuesday, change-the-damn-sheets-day"
The description of how personal and plain disgusting it is to change other people's sheets.
-full of hair and scabs
-snot
-signs of jelly rolling
-blood stains- scrubbing those out with your bare hands... yeah gross!! My blood I can do but someone Else's.. .No way!
The comedy in this book reminds me the book I just finished reading, "A Fools Journey". I just crack up while in silence and look around wishing anyone could read what I just read.
Mr Johnny comes home and catches Minny in the house! She is not scared and even tells him to "better get away". He laughs and tells her he's known Miss Celia was up to something since the day they were home and Minny didn't come over. Miss Celia tried to cook and then he knew something was up.
I love how he lets the secret continue and even asks Minny to make him food. She has nothing to worry about losing her job after all.
