At Wal Mart in a long check out line a mother and son have this conversation
M: A college ID can get you into certain places in Georgia
S: No it can't mom
M: Boy I know what the ID can do
S: (interrupts her) So your telling me that the government uses college ID's for identification?:
M: No! But I'm saying that they advertise things like (raises her arms) "WELCOME COLLEGE STUDENTS"
S: (Rolls his eyes)
M: Marcus I'm tellin' you (starts pounding her fist to the flat of her palm) you can use that ID to get into places you normally wouldn't
S: Whatever mom, just watch out when your daughter (who was just watching, seems to be 17, not 18) gets arrested
M: Boy! Don't test me
S: (rolls his eyes) yes ma'am
At the Bookstore a Mother and Daughter talk about protection
M: We need to get you some pepper spray 'cause you can't be walking around here alone at night
D: Okay
M: No, we can't get Mace 'cause some people done got used to Mace
D: Uh huh
M: And don't be spraying it while your screamin' 'cause you'll land yourself in a coughing fit
D: Yeah, I heard that if you spray it in a room it will fill up the room
M: Now don't be aiming it in his general direction, hold your breathe, get it right in his face and back away.
D: Kay
M: Mmhmm these after this I'm gonna drive us over to that gun store and buy you some
D: Kay

B: (just laughs and keeps provoking her)
G: Move!! (she pushes him)
B: (Pops the balloon in her face)
G: (Slaps the boy)
It’s funny, I always end up arguing with mom in the line to check out at Walmart too. Good conversation to eavesdrop on though, it’s pretty funny to hear parents go on and on about what they know and insist that times haven’t changed that substantially. The second conversation made me laugh, using the country slang and whatnot. Country bumpkins talking about pepper spray, definitely a random moment in your weekend. But seriously, I’d want my daughter to be safe too. The last conversation sounds like it was actually pretty entertaining to eavesdrop on. Just when you think she’s bluffing, guy gets slapped, wouldn’t be the first time that’s ever happened. Kid deserves it for getting in her face, no one wants that.
ReplyDeleteI like the word "bumpkins", I don't really use it a lot. Yeah it was funny, I didn't think she was gonna slap him either.
