A story from the bayous. I was visiting an old friend whose mother came from France, lived in Louisiana, never really learned much English, and now was living with her daughter. I loved to hear her speak because she was so charming and shy, but underneath it all was as sharp as a tack--or so we thought. One day she pulled her chair in front of the television set when some politician was on. I think this was during the gubernatorial campaign, and this gentleman was asking people to vote for him. He said it this way: "Won't you hep me?" And this endearing old lady replied, using the same southern accent that "Yes, I will hep you." We started to laugh when she also said that he comes to visit every day, because she thought he was inside the t.v. set. and reminded us that we should be nice to our guests. :lol:

FOR SURE IT IS FUNNY

My sister thought the same thing and when Kung Fu came on she called it Guerilla Fighting. She just knew Viet Nam was oriental and so was Kung Fu. Blessings, Ruth

My mother had bought me a beautiful doll that had long hair. I was about 5 or 6. When I started playing with her, I decided that she needed a haircut. I cut ALL her hair off. I was so proud that I ran to my mother with the doll in my hands and showed her my doll's haircut. She screamed, "What did you do?" I said I gave her a haircut and it'll grow back. I didn't know why my mother was yelling at me. Little did I know....and guess what? The hair never did grow back!

I was trimming my DD long hair out on the front porch. I also watched my DGD while her Momma worked. She went off the porch and grabbed a hunk of hair and pulled it, then looked up and asked her Aunt Bekah if it hurt!

When I was little i remember my mom coming home saying she had been fired. I remember being scared to death every day when she would go looking for a job that she would come home all burned up.

Now on a lighter note I told my then 16 year old daughter that an undercover cop making a traffic stop with his bubble light that he was a citizen making a citizens arrest. She asked what that was. I told her that as a US citizen you are allowed to make them when you see people doing something wrong. She wanted to know where he got the bubble light. I told her she should have been issued one with her license (which she had just gotten) She said she had not. Then my husband chimed in and said, "Remember they changed that law. You only get your bubble light after your third citizens arrest." She believed this for a couple hours.

Because they don't want a lecture, or a where have you been(?) what have you been doing(?).

Trust me, as the nurse who has to take those things off, we DO notice if they are clean or not. Socks too. (Holding her nose with one hand while holding the offending object out at arms length)

I had a friend who believed you couldn't wear a tampon when you bathed, because it would get wet.

When I was little I thought only long,coiled up lengths of hair filled my insides and that's where it came from when it grew. Since my father was bald I figured his insides were empty now, so why is he so fat?
