Put that Down Young Man! Right Now!

"No, you can't have that!" the mother quarreled with the small petulant child. "You put that back this minute!"

The kid had started to cry...

That's is what I predominantly heard in the Piggly Wiggly a moment go. It sounded much like Johnny Otis and I squabbling over some computer parts.

Me: "But I want that solid state drive!" 
  
Johnny Otis: "But You can't have it. $100 dollars is too much!"

We know who holds the purse strings around here and I am too big to cry. Horsefly likes to stomp his feet at Johnny Otis when he doesn't get his way or when he gets upset. That always makes me smile and chuckle.

"I'm going to stomp my feet at Johnny Otis!!!"

I feel like Horsefly does some days.

I was looking for a small can of Castleberry's barbecue pork and another can of Poss' Brunswick stew. Things they don't sell in a frou-frou Kroger. It was a Johnny Otis sanctioned purchase thank goodness. They had both and I hurried to check out and head home before it got too hot today. They say a heat wave is just around weather's corner here in the South. It is supposed to get up to 82° degress.

I was walking to my car when I realized I forgot the hamburger buns to make barbecue sandwiches. I put my purchased items in the car and ran back inside to get a pack of buns.

The phone was ringing when I got home. It was my father.

"I can never get you to the phone," he said laughing nervously. "Why don't you come by the pharmacy and I will give you some money to get a prepaid cell phone at Walmart."

I didn't say it but "Nope!" was what I was thinking.
