Two ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the airport.
The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man.
The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying,
” When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me. “
The lady from the South commented, Well, isn’t that precious.”
The first woman continued,
” When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz. “
Again, the lady from the South commented,
” Well, isn’t that precious. “
The first woman continued boasting,
” Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet. “
Yet again, the Southern lady commented,
” Well, isn’t that precious. “
The first woman then asked her companion,
” What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child? “
” My husband sent me to charm school, ” declared the Southern lady.
” Charm school? ” the first woman cried,
” Oh, my God! What on earth for? “
The Southern lady responded,
” Well, for example, instead of saying “Who gives a****?”
I learned to say, ” Well, isn’t that precious. “
