ZING GOES MY MOUTH

The day after Thanksgiving…

I talked with my cousin in Philly…

After the usual yada yada stuff she proclaimed…

“I’m the Queen of Turkey Picking.”

“What does that mean?” I asked.

“I can pick a turkey clean better than anyone!”

We laughed a while then hung up.

Minutes later…

I was still chuckling at her ‘Queen’ reference.

And that got me thinking….

My cousin is an accomplished photographer…

Yet she boasts the most about picking a turkey.

And that got me wondering…

While I’m an accomplished writer…

It’s not the same as being ‘Queen’ of something.

If I was ‘Queen’ of something…

What would it be?

What is it that I do that’s better than anyone?

Hmm?

I know…

Queen of Zingers!

It’s true…

I can quash someone’s ego at the flip of a quip.

I’m not proud of that, mind you, really I'm not…

It’s just that this was my family's humor...

When I was growing up in New York...
However...
It didn't play well when I moved to the Midwest...
And it definitely doesn't play well here in Mexico.
So?
Is humor regional?
You tell me...
And while you're at it...

Are you the ‘Queen’ of something?

Or king?
And if so…
What is it?

Always, Em-Musing
