When we were young we noticed that the Pint sisters had a feud going on. There seemed to be two different factions. When we asked Mom about it, all we got was something like “I really don’t know” or “it happened a long time ago and we just don’t talk about it”
That didn’t deter us from brining the subject up again long after we left the nest. We heard rumors . One rumor centered around Poppa (Mom’s father). The story goes: Poppa had been in the hospital for some reason and upon discharge he contacted one of the people from the (non-Mom) faction for transportation home. After some long wait, he finally decided to walk home. Fortunately one of the husbands from the “good” faction saw him resting on someone’s front steps and gave him a lift home.
Anna gave another, more credible story. In 2018 Anna had had a couple of strokes and her filters were turned off. According to her, the feud started when two of the sisters worked in the same clothing store. Anna was under-age and borrowed Honey’s (Elizabeth) identification. To the employer, Anna was known as Betty. All went well until the boss indicated he was about to give one of the Pint girls a promotion. Of course Honey, who had worked at the store longer than Anna and was the older of the two expected that she was the chosen one. When the boss announced that it was “Betty” Honey threw a “hissy fit” and apparently said some things about the boss that got her fired.
