  My grandma told the sweet potato story for 30 years. In last 10 years her lived, she told this story to everyone who came to see her, repeating it about 10 times during the visit, laughing each time as though it was the first time she had ever told it. It became so funny because the more she told it, the more you would laugh. The she’d wait a few minutes and tell it again. The story goes likes this: Her husband used to love sweet potato pies. One time when she was in bed after childbirth, the neighbors and church people started bringing food in to help out. Her husband commented to someone that he loved sweet potato pies, but his wife never baked him one. Every able body in Hampton was soon at the door with a sweet potato pie. He had all the sweet potato pies he wanted and never asked for another one. She said it wasn’t true that she never baked him one. This was her recipe.
