At any rate, I'm out at the park with the dogs, running them, as usual, for about 15 mintutes. I'm chilling out with a cig on a picnic table, the dogs are huffin, puffin, and lookin for more action after I ran their asses hard ... and this ugly woman and her daugher, who couldn't have been more than 6, start walking across the rain soaked, high clover-leaved green that is Turner Park.
So the dogs and I watch these two morons walk across the high grass/weeds, making a walking beeline for us, from about 400 yards, when I first saw them.
My dogs are cool, but they are inquisitive. And immediately, when this woman and her kid get within about 100 feet, my Alpha female lab, Gabby, goes running up to them, with ball in mouth, and tail wagging.
So then this woman starts a conversation with me:
Her: How are you? How are the dogs?
Me: Good, and the dogs are having fun.
Her: Are they both girls?
Me: Yes.
Her: What's this one's name?
Me: Gabby. And the other one's name name is Samantha.
Her: They are beautiful dogs.
Mel: Thanks.
Her: It was great to see them and nice to meet you.
Me: Same here.
We continued with the conversation a bit more, but it was pretty clear she was trying to get her daugher home, and left, about as soon as she arrived.
The reason why I'm posting this is that our entire conversation was in Spanish.
What was really cool for me -- and I'm sure horrific for others -- was that she initiated this conversation in Spanish.
With my ethnicity being Dutch, Irish and a bit of Norwegian and German/Italian/French thrown in -- I'm not exactly somebody who could be mistaken for a Mexican, to say the least.
Anyway, I thought of a lot of you losers on this board, and the whole notion of foreigners, as it relates to the United States.
OMG, Tulsa is being INVADED! Run for your lives!
