“Mama started screaming, ‘Get away from me! You get away from me.’ But Grandma didn’t stop. She dipped her fingers in the water and sprinkled it on Mama.‘This here holy water, Rozelle, ’ Grandma said, and Mama fell to the ground, screaming, while Grandma sprinkled that water on her head.Tan, you shoulda seen how Mama was trying to get away, and it wasn’t nothing but water.”
