ain't we got fun

when we were raising our boys I was constantly telling them to use the proper words and such.  I could not stand to hear them say ain't and that sort of thing.  David told me that the other kids thought they talked to plain and uppity.  I just kept remembering how I was teased when we first moved to Wisconsin for the way I spoke and my accent.  We were from the south and didn't realize how much we slurred our words. When i went home I told my mother how I was being teased she told me to do something about it.  I couldn't imagine what I could do but she said they had speech classes and they would help me speak any way I wanted.   I signed right away and years later when we moved to Southern Illinois I was teased because I spoke too uppity.  You just can't win.  According to my husband I now speak however the people around me do.  He gets a big kick out of it.  By the time we reach Mississippi or even Kentucky I am slurring my words to beat the band.  and as we return so does the uppity way of talking.  The one word that never changes for me is the.  No matter where I am it comes out the biblical way thee. Now I know you are saying thee is a person where the can be many things, that is true however I say thee.  One of my uppity things I guess. That is my grammar lesson for today kiddies.

Moving on.  Today is hubbies 70th birthday.  He does not like to get gifts so he says and will never tell me what he wants.  Don't you just hate that.  His comment is always I go out and get what I want when I want it so  therefore there is nothing you can get me.  Oh I don't think so!!! This year I was in a tizzy
trying to think of a great present when it hit me.  A friend had some  firearms and equipment from her deceased husband that she showed  me and said she would kind of like to get rid of some of them.  I went to her house and looked at them and had told my husband about them.  He looked at them and said it would be neat to have some of them especially a little hand gun.  She later decided not to sell any of them and everyone forgot about them.  A few days ago I called her and she said she would sell me that particular firearm.  I gave it to him last night.  I think he really liked it, but as usual he didn't make a fuss about it like us ladies would do.  He should have gotten up and done the happy dance or something.  to let me know he really liked it , but that's not going to happen.  So I am going to say he loved it and try really hard to believe it's so.  men heaven forbid they show any emotion.  I think I will keep the old old man around though, he comes in handy from time to time. 


 Once upon a time there was this King, he and his queen lived in an old castle that was run down and in need of repair, but the King couldn't see anything wrong.  The queen continued to tell him about different things in great need of help.  but as usual the King looked the other way. The queen decided that the only way she would get her King to really look at the problems was to force his hand.  The most important place she felt that needed fixing was the floor in the main chamber.  She had one of the princes take the weak boards and make them weaker.  The only problem was that she didn't want anyone to get hurt if they fell through the floor. Would you believe the King steps on those boards everyday and they still have not given way.   It has been months now. The queen is confused.  The money she had put aside for repairs has been used for other things now.  So she is saving again and they are living carefully ever after.   The end.     

Have a great week.  Luv ya  Sass
