Maybe you could say I'm just a tad nosey. There is a little bit of that in all of us, like when you're sitting in the airport or a restaurant and overhear an interesting conversation. I am finding the conversations I overhear in this part of the country are especially unique. Sometimes I'll even butt into the conversation to instigate a little. I'll stop keeping them to myself and share these gems.
This was a conversation I overheard in the waiting room at the doctor's office. This was between a man that we'll call "Rebel" (his entire back was covered with a rebel flag tattoo, which I could see through the large arm holes in his muscle shirt....nice) and a woman that we'll call Jane (she was normal). These two did not know each other prior to the waiting room.
Rebel: My wife is having lots of weird cravins'.
Jane: Oh really? Like what?
Rebel: .........but that's nothin' compared to the cravins' my momma had when she was pregnant with me.
Me: Ooooo, do tell!
Rebel: When she was pregnant with me, she craved dirt.
Jane & Me: WHAT?
Rebel: Yeah, she would go outside and sift the dirt so she wouldn't chew on no rocks. That's all she wanted to eat....dirt.
Hi! I just peek in from time to time on ur blog from ashley evans blog! I had to comment on this one! My friends mom craved dirt when she was pg also! I had never heard of that before so I thought it was funny that you said that! The joys of pregnancy :)
ReplyDeletethat is actually a medical condition that happens sometimes during pregnancy...when I was student teaching in Roswell one of my students told me that the previous night he had gone outside to fetch his mom a bowl of dirt to eat. The school counselor had to educate me about the strange craving. weird huh!
ReplyDeleteThat is so wacky!...I wonder how many calories are in dirt? :)
