southern grannies and the French

[alphamaniv]

Well, there is nothing like southern grannies and the French. What a combo! First off, my father and I went to my grandma’s to trim some trees for her.(last thurs.) My mother (her daughter went) as did my 12-year-old son. Well, my boy has his first machete experience so dad and I put him to work getting the lower smaller branches. His grandmother (my mom) wasn’t too happy with this. She was concerned for his safety, and here is the funny part. She say’s “why don’t ya’ll quit that and get the guns out of the truck and do some shooting” HEE HEE. Put the knives down boys and go play with the guns! There is still hope for our country I guess; poor ol’ mom is just a knife worrier. Must be because of all my scars, I’m a life long knife knut and have the scars to prove it, but that just helps me know how to help my boy avoid the same mistakes and to understand that when using knives as tools or toys, they will bite every once in a while. Ok that’s the first part.
The second part, my cousins from France are in again this year. For those that don’t remember, my grandfather(dad's dad) in the heat of WW2 had time for a little heat with a young French girl. We found out a couple of years ago that he left a little girl there. He never really has been much of man as far as taking responsibility for anything, but that’s another story, and we know about them now so we are trying to make them feel like family. Plus, I can make all the French jokes I want But for what it’s worth, even though France is known as ……less than valiant…to a lot of folks, I think that is more the politicians than the people. But that doesn’t stop us from making lots of jokes, but I think they make a lot of hillbilly jokes about us too. We did get them to shoot guns for the first time in their lives last time they were in. $hit, I’m rambling. Sorry. What I was going to say was, for whatever their faults may be as native French, they sure can drink!
And I mean drink! We’ve had a blast and tomorrow is family volleyball. We are competitive here, so it could break down into an international incident…but we can take ‘em, after all, they're French. (sorry, couldn’t resist.)

edit for drunkeness offensivness. I dont think thats really even two real words. French liqour is great!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You made in "inverse way" but you couldn't know...
You should have put the bottles out of the truck BEFORE and then after the drinking start to shoot... There is something in our genetic as French, we tend to shoot and fight better when we're drunk.
A great French General, his name was Clemenceau said under WWI: " the moral of the troops is in their food". So he instored very strong liquors in our field rations! hahahahahaha I remember under a deployement we had some connections with americans soldiers, the trades were easy:" French booze for Americans cigarets!"
