Overheard after Sunday lunch:
DADDY (complaining about a choir committee meeting he thought he had to attend, which he didn't have to attend, because he isn't even on the choir committee, a detail he overlooked):
Y'all need to just STOP some o' this stuff! All these meetin's and gatherin's and all this runnin' here and yonder all over the place, goin' to all this stuff NOBODY really wants to go to!
MAMA: What on earth is the matter with you?
DADDY: NOTHING'S the matter with me! It's just too much, I tell you! I want somebody to just stop the world and let me get off for just a minute so I can have a little PEACE!
MAMA: What are you so all-fired busy with? Doesn't look to me like your schedule's all that full.
DADDY: You've got no idea what all's goin' on in my head. There's all kind of things just swirlin'' around and around in there. It's all I can do just to think about all of it every day. Wears me out.
[With spring just around the corner, here's hoping Daddy manages to get his many thoughts under control so that he can squeeze in time to fish.]
This is so hilarious. . . and so typical of some of these old country fellas. Love it.
