When I told mom I had known her since the day I was born, she said, “Isn’t that nice.”
Then I asked her how old she was and she said, “Six!”
I thought she would laugh at herself after what I thought was a really funny reply.
Then she said it again, “I’m six. I love my mother and daddy, my brothers and sister, my aunts and all the Watkins. We are all powerful people. Especially my daddy, Dr. B. H. Martin. He is a powerhouse. He can make anybody well if they do what he tells them to do. If they don’t, then they just die. That’s it.
He takes me with him everywhere he goes.”
