People what know me personally, know I don't talk much. Oh sure, I can sit down and write all day long, but to sit down to a conversation, I'm lost for words. I attribute this to "bring'n up". When I was a kid, we were taught to not speak unless spoken to. Old school for kids. Some parents teach their kids the finer arts of conversation, but old Billy Bob got a smack across his mouth and a "Oh, just shut up". So I didn't talk at all, except to my pet chicken and all the critters I would capture. As a teenager, I were a gabber jaw...
always talk'n bout something. Mainly cars, drag rac''n, guns and girls....in that order. Then I join the Navy, got married and it started all over again...."Oh, just shut up". Every time I open my mouth to say something, my wife used to tell me "if you're gonna say something stupid, just shut up". So I just shut up 'cause I like to say stupid stuff. Stupid stuff is important ya know.
Up bout my usual time this morn'n, right after the sun come up. But ya can't see the sun come up from "da house" 'cause all the trees. The lake was slick as glass....perfect for a "bubba boat" ride. Well, by the time I got some coffee down, eat'em up some sausage an' eggs, get my other eye open, the wind start blow'n.
"Oh, just shut up Billy Bob". Ok, I'll be back laters.
Dang Billy Bob, you sure do look comfortable in that chair with your coffee and smokes. Maybe you ought to extend your stay there. May have trouble finding another lake with water in it. BTW, have you caught any fish?
ReplyDeleteSurrounded by trees you should have great shade in the morning to drink your cup of java.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was kid all my parents had to do was look at me and I knew to keep quiet. Try that on kids now days and they will call CPS on you.
