My mom was the original "holler-back" girl.
With her trill Irish voice, you could hear her calling from 1/4 mile away.
Oh, and with 9 kids you didn't have to wait to hear YOUR name, you just knew the natural progression: "Susan, Paul, Michael, Timmy, Joey, Johnny, Bobby, Mary and Theresa...Supper Time!!!"
Everyone within a 2 block radius knew who we were and when it was time to go home.
