Say Hi to ya Mutha for me

"Oh, I'm sorry. What'd you just say to her? Smile? Or were you talkin' to me? I hope you were talkin' to me because nobody talks like that to my mah. Apologize to her. Say 'I'm sorry Mrs. Lauren for being sch a dirtbag and disrespectin' you like I did. I deserve to be kicked in the face by a mule.' Now say it, or watch out for this left hook!"

Expedition

"Hello, and thank you for tuning in once again to another exciting episode of Georgia Outdoors. I'm your host Benton Gray and with me, as always, are my ready-for-adventure parents Jason and Lauren. Today we're here in beautiful Vogel State Park. Behind me you'll see a classic example of the early spring flora and geological formations that we'll be exploring today. Join us, won't you?"

War Hero

My old man. His favorite activity was to sit by the pool on a nice day and relive the glory days. He was at the top of his class at West Point. An early graduate and the youngest infantryman they'd ever seen in the 85th. But none of that could save his right arm, he'd say. Now he just gazes into the sea of blue washing up on his feet, wishing he could go for a swim. Just one more time.
