Now THIS is small town Deep South...

Okay bones and threels, I know you can back me up on this one....

So Kelly is at Mitch's Field Day (basically a day off for the kids where they play games and stuff all day) yesterday, and is sitting besides the mothers of two other preschoolers while eating lunch in the classroom, and this is the conversation she overhears... (Names have been created and changed to protect the, um, well, convicted. You'll see...)

• Ellie May: "So how's Bubba doing, Mona?"
• Mona: "He's doing just fine. I looked up stuff on the internet and it looks like he may only have to serve 65% of the 30 years. So he oughta be out in about 20 years. And heck, he's already served 90 days!"

I am serious. That is a real conversation among mothers of preschoolers at a school-sponsored function. In the classroom. While eating lunch. With dozens of other adults present. And that sad thing is, no one (except) Kel, flinched one bit. Just another day in small town Deep South.

Later Kelly gets a better view of "Mona". She has a t-shirt on that has the owl and little boy from the old Tootsie Roll Pop commercial, with the caption, "Wanna lick?" on the front of the shirt.

Gotta love the prim and proper nature of the ladies down South.



Which reminds me of a good old standard down here:

Q: What is the mating call of a Southern Belle?

A: "I am SOOOOO drunk!"
