  2. Seasonal Hair Loss
  3. A Little Game
]]> (On the phone with my youngest brother, RYAN.)

RYAN: Well, I’ll have myself a house built in a few years.
MOM (in background): You better start saving some money then.
ELIZABETH: How about if me and Kevin just find a house with a garage apartment and let you rent?
RYAN: (mutters something about the garage apartment, MOM laughs.) Mom thinks that’s funny.
ELIZABETH: Tell her we have to find one anyway so we have a place to put her when she gets old.
RYAN: (relays the message to MOM) She says it better have an elevator.

    ]]>     Without divulging too much, allow me to tell you something. I answer a lot of phone calls on a daily basis. I hear a lot of accents and get to interact with a number of lovely people. But I get some older folks from time to time who either 1) can’t hear, 2) don’t know what they want/need, 3) think my name is Alyssa, or 4) all of the above. Keeps me on my toes and provides comic relief, so I’m not complaining. Last night though, I got a very unique call. I’ll let you hear what the fellow said, but I should really do an audio post. Because if you haven’t heard someone from southern Oklahoma say the word “battery,” well, you’re missing out on something very special.

    MAN: Yeah, Lizbuth, I need you to answer me a question!
    ME: All right, sir. I’ll do my best.
    MAN: You got yerself any uh them cables thar?
    ME: Well, let me see if I can find someone here to assist you with that.
    MAN: Naw!
    ME: Sir?
    MAN: I don’ need no help, just need fer you to tell me if you got any uh them cables!
    ME: I am not sure, sir. Let me ask someone for you.
    MAN: ALL’S I WANT TO KNOW’S IF YOU GOT ANY BATT-REE CABLES! For my pickup truck!
    ME: Oh, no, I’m sorry. We don’t.
    MAN: Well, now…all right.

    ]]>     In case you had no idea that I battle the powers of darkness (POD, which may be my new codeword. And those of you who know my current codeword… ;) ) on a daily basis.

    FRIEND: Oh man, we’re talking demons here.
    ME: What if it opens a portal to Hades–
    FRIEND: Elizabeth, you can say no to the devil.
    ME:–home to Lucifer, Prince of Darkness?
    FRIEND: SAY NO TO THE DEVIIIIIILLL!

Not my usual place and most definitely not my favorite, but it does make for an interesting time. These young people speak a bit more clearly, “go pee-pee in the potty”, and don’t always have to wear bibs. Nice change from the everyday, “I poopy.”

    Young Trent was sitting at the table, singing “I’m In The Lord’s Army” and I knew this because he got all the bits about marching in the infantry and riding in the cavalry right. It was that last little bit that caught my attention. So I asked, “Trent, could you sing it again?” And off he went, belting it out.

    “I may never march in the infantry
    Ride in the cavalry
    Shoot the artillery
    I may never fly o’er the enemy
    But I don’t know what’s wrong with me!
    Yes, sir!
    I don’t know what’s wrong with me!
    Yes, sir!    “

    For those of you who didn’t grow up attending vacation Bible school, the line is not “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” It’s “I’m in the Lord’s army.”

    Another story about “beans” tomorrow. Today is GAME DAY at OU! Woowoo!
