Real Words

Overheard at a playground while walking Sash yesterday:

"And I told her, if she falls, just leave her!"

Of course it loses something in the translation since there is no way to accurately depict the accent of the person who uttered those words, suffice it to say that she was a good ol' Mountain Woman.

It brought to mind the times my mother would find me in the top of a tree or in the highest loft of the barn and would say to me, "I'll beat the living daylights out of you if you fall!"

I never fell
