Overheard

Coming back from College Station yesterday, I stopped at the Shell station in Riesel (as is my wont) to buy gas, pee-pee, and buy a Diet A&W.  Two nearly identical-looking women stood behind the counter, one appearing to be about 14 years older than the other.  Here’s the conversation:

Younger:  Need you to keep a eye on your son-in-law.  Gotta go to Manchaca 4 days.

Older:  What’s in Manchaca?

Younger: Gotta pick up the little goat what’s mama died.

Older:  Jimmy not goin with you?

Younger:  Caint.

Older:  Awright.

    I know. Between the faux Lexus and the Riesel Shell station ladies, yesterday was a great day for me.

    What the heck were you doing in College Station? If I may be so bold as to ask.
