I’m thinking of you today.
Yesterday, the youngest was at her job behind the counter of TOOMER’S DRUGS, HOME OF THE WORLD’S BEST LEMONADE (I should know. I’ve been around the world!) and this “old” man came in. He began by greeting some other “old” people, glad-handing them and slapping on the back, etc. So, the youngest figured that they were some alumni back in town for the game on Saturday (against Arkansas State).
But then, he continued on, shaking hands and introducing himself to everyone. The youngest thought, “Okay, he’s a politician.” She also noted he had an entourage with him.
The man came over to my daughter and said, “Hi! I’m Robert Bentley.”
As soon as she could, the youngest went to a co-worker and inquired, “who’s Robert Bentley?” The co-worker didn’t know.
She had to flag down a manager to learn that Robert Bentley is the pubbie candidate for governor! Too funny. None of the college students knew. The PR team got three lemonades. When the team left, the manager inquired, “did anyone ring them up?”
They had. However, it caused the youngest a bit of mirth to imagine that the PR team had come in to gather votes and actually not paid for their purchases.
No, darling youngest, that is the RAT schtick.
