Walking the streets of Nashville today I came upon the friendliest people. But we always knew that people in the South are friendly. Now being a Northerner I know there is also a sentiment that people from the South are stupid.
Well when this nice man said hello today I replied with a “How’s your day going.”
To which his response was “Better than I think it is.”
I stopped to talk to him. I asked him to explain his comment.
He explained it to me with an example. He said lets just say I’m thinking my day is going great and then I go into my pocket and find a quarter. It just got better.
I smiled, shook his hand, told him I love his attitude and walked away. Walking down the street I thought to myself maybe these people in the South are a lot smarter than Northerners give them credit for.
And then I was stopped dead in my tracks by this:
I won’t even tell you how far back down the street I had to go.
