I have a family member who went to the northeast for a convention. He tells the story of how after endless teasing about his thick Texas accent, he shined his new friends on by convincing them that his grandpa had won a prize for raising a 50 pound grit.
Ping to 1245 - sorry, I meant to ping you since you guys got the Grit Train rolling!
After introducing some furriners to the goodness of yellow meated watermelon a few years back I waxed eloquent on the wonders of watermelon colors. Ya see, the innards of the melon are all blue till you cut 'em open. They don't turn red, orange or yellow till you pop it open and the light and air hit.
my kids think i need to stop with my tales. reportedly some of them have damaged the psyche of some of the grandkids :(
“he shined his new friends on by convincing them that his grandpa had won a prize for raising a 50 pound grit.”
