Overheard on the Nashville MTA

While sitting on bus, waiting to go home last week, I overheard the following conversation of a group of teenagers who got on behind me:

Teenager: Somethin' smell good in here!

Second Teenager: It smell like laundry detergent.

First Teenager: Somebody be washin' they clothes.

Second Teenager: It might be that Hispanic guy over there.  (pointing, I assume, at me, a partial Native American).

I didn't know whether to be amused or just scared for our nation's future.

 I think I chose both. 

Our future leaders may be grammatically challenged and racially insensitive, but at least they value cleanliness.

(More to come soon).
