Calling a spade, a spade indeed

I'm trying to stay a bit light-hearted here.

My mom was just putting Liz down to bed, and Liz said: "My Daddy says the Irish are really stinky."

Mom - a lifelong die-hard Nortre Dame fan - doesn't like anyone to say any negative words about the Irish responded with: "Well, this year, he's right. They really were stinky."
