Yee-haw! in D/S

CAM: Bethany had her first OB/GYN appointment today and everything went well. While we were in the waiting room of the laboratory, four Texan women were able to meet and tell each other about themselves. These are their stories (all voices in extremely loud female Texas accents):

PEGGY SUE: Boy, I tell you what, them Aggies man. That's a good school right there.

MARY LOU: Dag gone ya'll, that place has gotten bigger than a cowpie on a Tuesday.

BETTY ANN: Ya'll went to A&M?

MARY LOU: I did, she didn't.

BETTY ANN: Shoot, my son goes there right now. I'm worried 'bout him.

PEGGY SUE: Why's that, darlin'?

BETTY ANN: Well, because he's from such a small town and A&M is so big.

MARY LOU: It sure has gotten bigger... like a cowpie on a Friday.

PEGGY SUE: ...

MARY LOU: Where are you from?

BETTY ANN: I'm from down there in Sonora.

MARY LOU: *nods*

PEGGY SUE: *nods*

BETTY ANN: Where ya'll from?

PEGGY SUE: We're both from Barnhart.

BETTY ANN: Okay, okay. Ya'll know a fella by the name of C.Q. Washington?

MARY LOU: HELLZ YEAH!... I mean... yes. We know him.

BETTY ANN: Well, he's my uncle-in-law.

MARY LOU: No wai.

BETTY ANN: Yep, I married his brother's son.

PEGGY SUE: Well, I'll be darned.

BOBBIE JO: Ya'll say you from Barnhart?

MARY LOU: We are.

BOBBIE JO: Well check this here out. I'm from Miles.

MARY LOU: *laughs hard*

PEGGY SUE: *laughs hard*

BETTY ANN: Don't blink!

BOBBIE JO: *laughs*

BETTY ANN: Don't blink or you'll miss it!

ALL: *laugh obnoxiously loud*

PEGGY SUE: No, blink twice and you'll miss Miles. Blink once and you'll miss Barnhart.

ALL: *laugh some more, sounding more and more like clucking hens*

BOBBIE JO: *laughs so hard she lays an egg*

PEGGY SUE: Wait, what's your name?

BOBBIE JO: Bobbie Jo.

PEGGY SUE: No, your last name.

BOBBIE JO: Ortiz.

PEGGY SUE: You wouldn't know Willy Ortiz now, would ya?

BOBBIE JO: Yeah, he's my brother's father-in-law!

PEGGY SUE: We know him back from grade school.

MARY LOU: He was the feisty one, that boy.

BOBBIE JO: I'll bet! He is a character!

PEGGY SUE: Ain't that the truth!

MARY LOU: Like a cowpie!

ALL: *laugh so loud*

NURSE: Bethany.

CAM: Oh, thank God.
