Well she didn't, but her sister, two daughters, and one of her nephews did it quite well for me. I'll get her to comply eventually, though.
Jesus, Q, how old are you?
Anyway, there's a new documentary out created by a KU student on the Phelps family. It's called "Fall From Grace", and it recently showed here in Lawrence, Kansas last week. I didn't get a chance to see it, but a few guys I know did, and from what I heard it was pretty revealing and interesting. Here's some more on it:

We've got a place here in town that rents out avant guarde flicks, documentaries, and the like. This will likely be out pretty soon on DVD. From what I was told, the movie ends with the entire Phelps family watching the movie themselves, and once the movie was over they all stood up and cheered.
Fame of any sort spreads their words of hate. As they say, any publicity is good publicity. They live in Topeka, which is about 25 min. from my house here in Lawrence. Lucky me, I know.
And in a strange twist, I happen to have one of Shirley's daughters in my physical therapy class at KU Medical Center. Strangely, she's damned smart, one of the smartest in our class. She can memorize the crap out of anything (puts me to shame since I've killed a healthy number of brain cells in my 20's ). And perhaps even stranger, she's very nice to everyone, and everyone is nice to her in return. Not once has she ever brought up her personal/familial life nor has anyone ever mentioned it. On occasion I'll have her in my group projects, and she more than carries her load of work to do. The way I've come to see it is simple - if she helps me through this hell hole in school, I've got no problem with her so long as she doesn't bring her personal life into things. As long as things are school-related, I could give two shits about her life outside of class at that moment. Of course you get me outside of school and I'll vehemently disagree and shake my head in disgust at her families' involvement and rationale (or major lackthereof).
So there ya have it.
