Wasn’t I talkin’ to him after church last Sunday night? Naw, I don’t go to church. Certainly not at night. ---

I sure wish Mama would stop hollering at us to wash our feet. ---

No, but you were recollecting how brother, Tom and him put a frog down your back at the Carroll County picture show. ---

It seems like a waste of time to wash my feet when there’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to plow. ---

No, I don’t know what’s happened to my appetite. Mama’s been cookin’ all morning and I haven’t touched a single bite. ---

Well, that’s 'cause Brother remembers when they put that frog down your back at the picture show. That’s enough to take anyone’s appetite away. ---

Well, I just saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge! What an idiot! ---

Yeah, but is he as cute as that Brother Taylor, the nice young preacher? ---

I haven’t met him yet. Mama said he dropped by today, but I was out choppin’ cotton. But I understand he said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, though. I hope we won’t be having leftover black-eyed peas. These things tend to congeal. ---

I heard he dropped something off the Talahachee Bridge. Anybody know what that was? ---

Nope, but Mama said that Brother Taylor reported a girl was with Billy Joe when they was throwin’ something off the bridge. ---

Rumor has it they threw a RC Cola bottle and a Moon Pie wrapper off the Talahachee Bridge. No good ever seems to come from Choctaw Ridge. Now, you tell me Billy Joe McAllister’s jumped off the Talahachee Bridge? ---
