Funny Story from Third Coast.
This old guy came in with his daughter, wife, and grandson's so i was helping them out as much as I could, you know keepin it real. I was in the back glazing or something and the old guy said, - wait, imagine this really mellow, smiley man, with two little backpacks that probably have cameras in them.
and he said - You have red har,fair skin and very green eyes, i bet you're irish.
Mary- Yes, yes I am.
Geezer- My wife and I lived there for three years, beautiful place.
Wife- Oh are you telling her about Ireland!!! Beautiful place, Mary, you need to go there, you would fit right in. The people are so nice there.
Mary- isn't it because they are drunk.
Wife- well some of them, but everyone is so nice in general. and who wouldn't be, when you're surrounded by all that green?
So yeah, that was the first day, and he kept stalking me and smiling. Asking little questions.
They came in the next day, and he said, I have never seen a place like this but its truly remarkable. You don't just sell clay, paint, and instructions, you sell happiness which is very important. You truly do.
how sweet is that.
