I'd Rather Roll Than Rattle: A Collection of Humorous Stories. - Paperback

by Liz Kingston Bettle (Author)

I'd Rather Roll Than Rattle Way back in the day, words like "fat" and "obese" were not used to describe a lady who was overweight. The usual adjectives of choice were: stout, portly, or rotund. My grandma Kingston was most definitely in that category. She would get a bit miffed when someone would call her status to her attention. But she would really react when she saw a woman who was inordinately thin. It would flat make her mad. "Just look at her: a bag of bones When she walks you can hear her rattle. I'll tell you this for sure I'd rather roll than rattle " She lived to be 92 and never did rattle Hence, the book's title.
