My next door neighbors, Linda and Gary, have bought a much larger and nicer pool than ours. Because their grandsons are coming to visit this summer, and they want to spoil them like all grandparents do.
Satan Elly Mae was being her usual nosy self and was watching the neighbors out the window. When she noticed the pool construction. She started yelling, "Holy cwap, mommy. Strangers are putting up a big pond." Yes, she calls the neighbors strangers.
Anyway, we have lived her almost a year now, and Satan Elly Mae has always pretended to be shy around Linda. Until just the other day after noticing the pool. Satan Elly Mae has now decided that Linda is her new best friend, but she isn't going to be bothered with calling her Linda. And apparently the name Stranger no longer fits. So yesterday when we were out watering the flowers, Satan Elly Mae spied Linda in her back yard. Satan Elly Mae runs over to the fence and yells, "Hey Gwanny! Can I swim in your pond? Pwease?"
The only thing missing from this story is the part where I went out back and shot up some bubblin' crude, oil that is. Black Gold! Texas tea!
