You’all need to slow down!

I think the first advice we got down south was- you’all need to slow down. This seems to apply to everything from speed of talking to walking to waiting for delivery or repair persons. I have taken this to heart…..a couple weeks ago on one of my many trips to Lowes, I was slowly ambling down the aisle pushing my cart, headed for the nether regions which is where every single thing I could want is always located. Anyway, I was moving slowly due to aching body parts and this black lady cruises up along side me and says “you know from way you were walking I thought you were an old black woman until I looked down and saw your white legs” I surely didn’t know quite what to say, so I just responded..”well, thank you I guess”. She slowed her pace and we visited for a bit, sweet as pie she was, then she sped back up to her running walk and off she went on her mission. Of course by that time I realized what I should have said to her was “YOU’ALL NEED TO SLOW DOWN” !!
