The True Little Rock Story: Part One

Part one of a series of odd things I see and hear in Little Rock.

I got home a little early after court the other day. I came in, noticed I had no mail, which was odd, and took my dog out to the front yard.  I could hear a neighbor two houses down slam her door. I've never met her, don't know her name. She yells from her porch "Have you seen the mailman?"   As a polite neighbor would - I yell back "No, no mail for me either."  She then yells, not necessarily to me "Well the mailman is supposed to be here at one. I'm waiting for a DNA test to see who my father is. Jesus Christ !"

Not sure how to respond to that, I didn't.

Comments

"I'm waiting for a DNA test to see who my father is. Jesus Christ !"

If your neighbor's father is JC, then somebody way back when got the big story very, very wrong.
