TRICIA'S TIDBITS

I was at Walmart right now and a lady walked up to me, well, let me restate. I was at WalMart right now and this lady locked her tracking beam on me and almost FLEW down the aisle at me! Her face was red, she was walking like in a manner that suggested that I was about to get punched! I was steeling myself and wondering if she was going to blast me for my political views, because that's what I usually get blasted for! So here she comes, laser beaming me with her eyes, looking like a linebacker about to sack the quarterback, or whatever sports phrase would fit here.

She suddenly stops in front of me and says, "Tricia! I just wanted to tell you that you are so right!"

Ah! vindication! My politics ARE appreciated by our listeners!

"Lady Antebellum's song ISN'T a booty call!"

Ok, so maybe my political views aren't on our listeners minds after all!

"Mike and Cesar really need to listen to the sentiment BEHIND THE WORDS! That poor woman singing is baring her soul to this guy. He should FALL ON HIS KNEES for being so lucky to have a woman like that!"

I nodded in agreement because I think she's right. Need You Now is the ultimate "what a fool I was to walk away" song. It is the classic sitting around eating Chubby Hubby and looking at all the old pictures of you two and then not being able to stand it anymore and not caring that the sun is going to come up in the morning and you'll regret making that late night phone call but doing it anyway kind of song.

The woman at Walmart and I were really connecting and telling each other the times we've felt exactly like the song when I told her, "And the guy in the song is so sweet, wanting her to come in and be there with him."

She kind of looked at me funny and replied, "Not even. He's a pig as all men are pigs. They only think about one thing. What song have you been listening to anyway?"

Come to think of it, I think I saw a pint of Chubby Hubby in her basket.
