Mom calls into C-SPAN to tell her pundit sons to stop arguing
Published in Weird News
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Whether it be at the Christmas dinner table or on television, moms do not want their kids bickering.
Pundits Dallas Woodhouse, a Republican, and his brother Brad Woodhouse, a Democrat, learned their lesson when their mother called into C-SPAN to chastise them for bickering.
The two were discussing bipartisanship on Washington Journal with host Steve Scully when a call came in from "Joy" from North Carolina. The brothers greeted their fellow southerner until she started to speak, to which Dallas said, Oh God, it's Mom.
"You're right, I'm from down south," she said. And I'm your MOTHER.
"I disagree that many families are like ours," she continued. I don't know many families that are fighting at Thanksgiving. I was very glad that this Thanksgiving was a year you were supposed to go to your in-laws. I'm hoping you'll have some of this out of your system when you come here for Christmas. I would really like a peaceful Christmas.
While the pundits' mother was on the phone, Scully asked her what it was like raising her boys.
"It hasn't been easy," she replied, adding that she loved them both.
Mrs. Woodhouse is a registered Democrat, but admitted she has split her ticket.
