My oldest cousin Ashley has three of the cutest kids alive. Her youngest, Madeline, age five, is what my Southern kin would (and does) call “a pistol”. Before the private, family viewing of my grandfather’s body at the funeral home Maddie pleaded with her mom that she be allowed to attend.
“But Mom! I won’t be scared. I’ve seen a dead body before!”
“Oh you have, have you? When?”
“Um, hello? Jesus died on the cross for my sins!”
“And you were there?!”
“Duh"
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Maddie is five -- and already a better lawyer than I am.

This is great. Thanks! "Duh"
Your verb singularity ("does") needs revision unless you only have one kin in the south. I know, secretaries usually catch this sort of minor glitch. Ain't it hell, being out there alone as a blogger!
