Paula went to pick up her RX at the drive in line. There is a grey caddy in front of her. Its taking a while. Suddenly a brown Chevelle drives up next to the caddy and the window comes down. The shouting got crazy and there was finger pointing, Paula opened the window to hear what was said.
"I pay the bills and your out here with another man?" the brown car said. The driver of the caddy waves him off, He didn't go, instead he pulled forward and blocked the caddy. Paula thought " what if he has a gun?" as she listened in fascination.
Two kids were riding in the caddy with their Mother. "She wasn't even pretty, she had a big bum" said Paula. The argument grew and the language and hand motions quickly got wild. Suddenly the doors opened and both men popped out. In the flurry of movement Paula saw the reflection of a gun in the window. Paula said "And just like that they were back in their cars and gone, and it was over."
Over? just like that? What happened? I asked. She just winked and said in her sweet southern draw: "Why I put my gun back in my purse silly"
