Sugar Pie:
While killing time in an East
Georgia shopping mall, the lovely Avon and I encountered a very little boy not more than
three years old storming his way up an escalator. His young mommy was trying
her best to catch up with him as worked his way between and through the other
passengers. When he reached the top, I said to him, “ Whoa! What’s the hurry
there, big fella?” giving the mommy a chance to catch up. With eyes big as
silver dollars and just as bright he proudly said, “I’m going to McDonalds and
get a Happy Meal!” By this time the mommy had reached the top step huffing and
puffing; she smiled her thanks, took his hand, and with a Southern Drawl that
generously dripped with honey said, “Come on now Shu-ugaah Paah.” We barely
held it together until they were out of earshot and then we lost it. I started
affecting that accent and calling Avon Shu-ugaah Paah as a little joke, and she
has been Sugar Pie to me now for nearly 30 years.
One of those days when everything goes right..... maybe a little too right.
“Life is much too important
to be taken seriously.”
