Diplomacy

[Loretta Ann]

Two delicate flowers of Southern womanhood (one of whom was from
Texas) were conversing on the porch swing of a large white-
pillared mansion.

The first woman, who was not from Texas said, "When my first
child was born, my husband built this beautiful mansion for me."

The Texas lady commented, "Well, isn't that nice?"

The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my
husband bought me that fine Cadillac automobile you see parked
in the drive."

Again, the Texas lady commented, "Well, isn't that nice?"

The first woman boasted, "Then, when my third child was born, my
husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."

Yet again, the Texas lady commented, "Well, isn't that nice?"

The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband
buy for you when you had your first child?"

The Texas lady replied, "My husband sent me to charm school."

"Charm school!" the first woman cried, "Land sakes child what
on Earth for?"

The Texas lady responded,
"So that instead of saying, 'who gives a hoot,'
I learned to say, 'Well, isn't that nice?'"
