Coo Coo Clocks

Mom: "I hate the Coo coo clocks! I hate them, they are so bad!"
Me: " I don't think you'll have to worry about them... We don't have one, do they even still make them?"
Mom: "No Melondie... You know the Coo coo crocks!"
Me: "I sure do Mom, they pop out and say "COO COO, COO COO!" every hour on the hour. I mean that would irritate me too."
Mom: "I'm talking about the people in white, with the white hat, the bad people."
Me: "WTF? You mean Ku Klux Klan..."
Mom: "Right the Kruu Krux Kran."

Mom talking about a time when she and my father were followed by the KKK in Oklahoma for 8 hours, when they were on a trip to visit my aunt. In the early 70's.
