Pop and I were reminiscing here awhile back about special people in our lives and he recalled one of his friends growing up, a young black fellow (Richard) who had a stutter.
He, pop and pop's dad would always go fishing together throughout his high school years and after that lost touch for awhile.
One day many years later, Richard stopped by the ranch to catch up on old times and go fishing. Pop was so glad to see him and apparently so was pop's pop - he got all excited, grabbed him to shake his hand or hug him and said, "Richard, I haven't seen you in a 'coon's age!"
...oh boo...
Then followed it up with this, "No offense."
...oh boo...
My poor mother-in-law...
