I’m going to see my mom. She’s a big mucky-muck in the county school system. She’s my hero. How do I explain her? She’s as respected as Mother Theresa, she’s as powerful as Stalin, and she’s as beautiful as Margaret Thatcher.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Leslie praises her mother through an extravagant mixture of respect, power and beauty. The unexpected comparisons make the tribute comic; they are her characterisation rather than objective judgments of the named people. The archived spelling remains.
