GRIT (Girls Raised in Texas)
GRIT (Girls Raised in Texas)
Someone once noted that a Texan can get away with the most
awful kind of insult just as long as it's prefaced with the words,
"Bless her heart" or "Bless his heart." As in, "Bless his heart, if
they put his brain on the head of a pin, it'd roll around like a BB
on a 6-lane highway."
I was thinking about this the other day when a friend was telling
about her new transplanted northern friend who was upset
because her toddler is just beginning to talk and he has a Texas
accent. My friend, who is very kind and, bless her heart, cannot
do a thing about those thighs of hers, was justifiably miffed
about this. After all, this woman had CHOSEN to move to
Texas a couple of years ago.
"Can you believe it?" said her friend, "A child of mine is going
to be "taaaallllkkin liiiike thiiiissss."
Texas girls know the movies that speak to their hearts:
1. "Gone With the Wind"
2. "Fried Green Tomatoes"
3. "Driving Miss Daisy"
4. "Steel Magnolias"
Now you run along, Shuger, and send this to ANY females
aspiring to be GRITS--Even the northern ones, "Bless Their
Hearts". and send it on to men who think Texas women are
precious.
Just because you move to Texas does not make you a Texan.
After all, if a cat had kittens and moved them to the oven, that
wouldn't make them biscuits.."
