| Y’all sure do a lot of dumb things. I tried thinking of a dumb thing I’ve done in my short life, and nothing came to mind. But the Carolina Country staff had no such problem. Jenny Lloyd feared a tumor had set in and called the eye doctor after trying a few pairs of her usual contact lenses and noticing her eyesight getting much worse. After examining her, the doctor said she hadn’t removed yesterday’s pair of lenses. Jennifer Boedart Hoey called the neighbors frantically one morning because she heard someone breaking into her house. With her neighbors’ help, they found a Mylar balloon floating between the walls and a ceiling fan. Renee Gannon routinely declined the invitation extended by her brother and his buddies to play on top of the rabbit hutch, until one day she had to try it. That day the hutch fell backward into a massive briar patch. Karen Olson House mailed all her holiday cards without postage stamps. Tara Verna left work one day and walked a few blocks until she paid attention to some little girls behind her who told her to pull down the skirt that had become tucked into its waistband. Nicole Ferrari’s older sister wondered about the taste of the mud pies that they were making, so Nicole ate a few and said they tasted fine. (And I have to work with these people.) Michael Gery |
