Subject: Her special healing soup
Dear Steve and Shirley, I recently moved to a small town and I got a great job, making great money. Iâm 33 and the women Iâm working with are in their late forties and fifties. Iâm respectful, but thereâs a 60 year old woman that thinks sheâs in charge because sheâs the oldest. She told me to call her Mama Mae and she was talking down to me a lot in the beginning. The funny part is that I was hired as a division director, so all of these women report to me. Mama Mae ran the office before I was hired, so sheâs in my way, as I try to change the culture of the office. She does little spiteful things and then acts like she didnât mean any harm, but Iâm on to her. I need her to retire because sheâs weird and sheâs dangerous. I was congested for 3 days so I left work early on a Friday to get some rest. Saturday morning Mae popped up at my house with a big pot of orange liquid, dripping everywhere. She barged into my house and plopped the pot on my stove and told me it was her special healing soup. She told me to eat 3 bowls a day until I felt better. The soup smelled awful and she would not tell me what was in it. She insisted that I eat a bowl of it before she left. I could basically drink the soup because everything in it was mushy. I finished most of it, and she finally left so I got back in the bed. I woke up an hour later with the worst stomach pain I had ever had. I was in the bathroom all day and night. My nose and my colon were clear after eating Maeâs special soup. Mae still wonât say whatâs in her special healing soup. A few ladies in the office said they shouldâve warned me not to let Mae know Iâm sick. Is Mae a witch or something? Whatâs in her healing soup?
