Vinton adds that things were never the same between Mama and Eunice again.
15. What did Mama say was the only thing she hated more than a boozer?

Answer: a lily-liver

Vinton was assuring Bubba that Mama would cave and let him go to his swim meet because the was really just all talk. Then he turned around and saw Mama standing there, smacking a rolled up magazine in her hand, and glaring at him. He immediately switched to harshly scolding Bubba. but Mama didn't buy it. She smacked Vinton on the head with the magazine and told him the only thing she hated more than a boozer was a lily-liver.

After Iola explains what happened with Bubba's mother and how badly it hurt Thelma and the relationship between her and Eunice, Bubba tearfully apologizes to his grandmother for his actions and accepts his punishment. Then Vinton's prediction comes true as Mama seeing Bubba's sincerity tells him to hurry up and get changed or he'd be late to his swim meet.
