the little old lady was very southern and had one of those magnolia
"planter" accents and when stonewall started dragging me over so he
could eat her gardenias I yelled at him and tried to pull on him and
she just laughed like oh he was so delightful and said " oh you big
dahlin boy! you jes eat allll the gahdenyas ya lil heart desires!" and
just clapped her hands in delight and stonewall would sneak looks at
her like "is she for real" and then I swear he started playing her.
he was batting his lashes and gazing off so she could feast her eyes
on his glorious profile. and she would say "ah do daclare yew are jes
the most dahlin!" and when we left there was not a gardenia in sight.
but he didn't have gardenia farts.
janice ( don't egg me on)
