Author Description

Throughout our lives, we heard numerous sayings, often from a stance of hands on hips as moms, madeas, aunts, cousins, or countless other people uttered the words. Sometimes clear, many of those sayings left us befuddled, wondering what the nonsensical words meant. In a new book, Dr. Kimberly Scales gathers some of her favorite sayings, recording them so they don’t get lost in a generation who never heard them. She goes on to explain the meanings, sometimes literal and at other times with a prayer they weren’t real. Enjoy the journey into the past, but don’t be surprised if you remember these words—perhaps even used them with a personally perfected stance. After all, we all need a dose of Momisms sometimes.
