Common Sense Or Redneck?

Last night my friend called as she usually does after supper. She was telling me that her man friend had stopped at a farm not too far from our house. They usually have eggs, tomatoes, cabbage, and apples in season.
Now they have plums. The big purple plums. She said, “Oh Lu, you have to hold your head over a plate with paper towels because they are so juicy. A whole box of them was only a dollar and fifty cents. That sounded reasonable and good. I had not had fresh plums for years.
This morning we stopped and they had a few only, of those big plums. We bought two boxes and that filled half a Walmart sack.
From there, we went to a little town where my doctor’s office is. My wonderful husband always sits outside and waits for me. I just was getting a blood draw. It took over an hour waiting time. In this amount of time, my dear man can get into all kinds of trouble.
He was hungry and thirsty. Yup! He decided to have a plum. The juice soaked his T-shirt. Of course, he didn’t want to get all sticky, so so so so……he rolled down the window, put his t-shirt on top of the window, then rolled up the window, soooooo his T-shirt could blow in the wind and dry out the juice.
You all can decide, was that common sense or Redneck? I will tell you one thing I would have just died if I would have walked out and saw his T-shirt flopping in the wind.

  2. I say pratical. Rednecks...hmmm most I know would not care if they are sticky. Or they would just take their shirt off and throw it in the back of the truck and ride with NO shirt on. LOL Now if we were talking about their Hats..let's see. If a Rednecks Hat gets blown out the window of the truck they would go home and get their Hunting Dog to track it down for them. See I grew up in a very very Redneck area! I have inside scoop on being a Redneck!

    Like storing your bushell of potatoes in the crawl space during the winter. Like having to eat the Cows you play with or the pigs and rabbits you visit every day in their little pens.

    So MY vote is very practical!

  3. Oh, Tammy you make me sad. We did not play with the cows and pigs. It was a given that they were our food. No rabbits, they are way too cute. As far as hubby? He makes me laugh every day and he has a hundred kisses on his cheeks. Love him to pieces redneck or not!
