The country queen took to her Instagram to share her story with her fans. She also uploaded a photo of her as a baby and of her nowadays, at the ripe age of 70. It's a new decade for her, which will have even more exciting things in store for her, I'm sure.
To kick off the story, she writes, "In March of 1955, Alice was 3 and Pake was almost 2 years old.
Being the rowdy mischievous kids they were, they had Mama so tired that when her water broke in the middle of the night, she changed her nightgown and went back to sleep!"
I don't think I've heard that one before.
"When the labor pains got more intense, Daddy drove her to the hospital in McAlester."
Then comes the complicated part. "I was breach so the doctor had to turn me around and get me headed out in the right direction. I was a dry/breach birth with only gas to help Mama get through it. After all that, she kept me. So glad she did..."
As are we.
