Beat 3 Flashcards
They’re eight and a half’s
Perfect.
Hi, mama. Look at Miss Clairees shoes.
Is this a riddle?
Annelle, this is my mama. How are things at the house?
Oh. Piece of cake.
Mama. This color is all wrong. It looks like a stuck pig, bled all over my hands.
I’m sure I have something at the house that will do.
But do you have pink?
Of course I have pink.
It has to be delicate.
If I don’t have something, will send one of the boys to get you some delicate pink nail polish.
Great idea, mama. I’d love to see what Tommy’d pick out.
I hope the rain holds off. I’m sorry it’s not a prettier day.
This is perfect weather for me. I don’t function well when it’s hot. I love cloudy days. On cloudy days I feel like God‘s not trying very hard, so I don’t have to either.
She does sweat profusely.
Thank you, mama.
I don’t have it. Ask the boys. Goodbye.
What did daddy want?
Sweep it up?
Yes, mama. Up. Black princess grace.
Did you bring Trey the picture of Jaclyn Smith?
No. I brought the picture of Princess Grace. I destroyed the picture of Jaclyn Smith.
But I thought I had made you understand the advantages of the Jaclyn Smith hairdo…
No, mama.
Well, at least I talked to her out of that stupid idea of sticking all that babies breath in her hair.
Keep your head in the sink, please.
Shelby, what’s Jackson like?
He’s pretty swell. I thought he was a pest at first, but then he kind of grew on me. And now I love him.
Where’d you meet him?
At a party at the petroleum club in Shreveport. I had no idea who he was, but I was getting a big kick out of watching him on the dance floor. It was painfully obvious he had never taken the time to dance in front of a mirror. There was something so attractive about how stupid he looked.
Is he real romantic?
No. But he does give me flowers. And little presents if I bug him enough. He has promised to give me a red rose on every anniversary corresponding to the number of the anniversary. I think that’s so sweet.
Well, now. That’s a pretty romantic idea, isn’t it?
Yes. I wish it had been his.
Lloyd and I missed it to 50 years by three months. That stinker. Bless his heart. He tried. He just couldn’t make it.
You remember your wedding?
Until last November, at least he held on through the state playoffs.
Miss Clairee There are still good times to be had.
If I go with a friend, we’re just a couple of old biddies.
Somebody like you should be able to find something to occupy your time.
So. Shelby, are you and Jackson going to live in West Monroe or Monroe proper?
Monroe, of course. His law practice is there.
You are so lucky, Shelby. Louisiana lawyers do well whether they want to or not.
I don’t really care. Don’t get me wrong the money’s real nice.… But I just like the idea of growing old with somebody. My dream is to get old and sit on the back porch covered with grandchildren and say, “no!”and “stop that!”
Are you going to quit nursing?
Never! I love it. I love being around all those babies… Last week we had this poor little fellow, 2 1/2 months premature. He looked like a big rat. I kept talking to him and holding them. But I knew he wasn’t gonna make it.
That’s so sad.
It happens all the time.
Drum and I feel that Shelby should not work anymore after she gets married.
I’m so anxious to discuss this topic for the 900th time this week…
you should not be on your feet all day. You should be kinder to your circulatory system.
Annelle? I know you’re new and all, but don’t let that stop you. Anytime you have anything to say you just let er rip.
Does your dress have to go over your head?
You can’t screw up her hair. You just tease it and make it look like a blonde football helmet.
They’re eight and a half’s.
Perfect.
