Arkansas Farm Boy

[Jeff Canes]

An Arkansas farmer got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring farm and knocked at the farmhouse door.

A young boy about 9 opened the door.

"Is yer Dad home?" the farmer asked.

"No sir, he ain't," the boy replied.

"He went into town."

Well said the farmer, is yer Mom here?"

"No, sir, she ain't here neither.She went into town with Pa."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"He went with Mom and Pa."

The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

"Is there sumpthin I can do fer ya?" the boy asked politely. "I knows where all the tools are, if you want to borry one. Or maybe I kin take a message fer Pa."

"Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting
my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that", he finally conceded. "If it helps any, I know that Pa charges $50 for the bull and $25 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets fer Howard."

Funny! But you can tell a "redneck" didn't write it. The farmer never would have said such a thing to a child. He would have just told him something like "Don't worry about it son. Just somethin' I need to speak with yore Paw about. Tell him to holler at me as soon as he gets back would ya?"

I done been to Benton beefore. It is a nice littlen'. I keep tellin my shuuga that she ain't seen no antique shops till she sees them thar Ozark homes neitha so we's gone check some them out too. As for shavin that thar hare, my cusin on my brother's, daddy's, momma's, cousin's, roommate's, aunt's, dog groomer's, nephew's, son's, sister's, doctor's, sister's side has eenuff hare to cover up that third arm he done growed.

I have driven all over AR and Benton is a good central location to stop. I also have a picture somewhere of me standing under a sign pointing to Aubrey, AR that is about 40 miles South of Forrest City. :mrgreen:
