You can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery
- The Rolling Stones

I’ve been meaning to tell y’all this for months as I know how much you love the randomness that makes up my life.

First of all, let me explain that somewhere along the way, I became flat out OBSESSED with “Beast of Burden.” Such a great, great, song. Lately the “put me out of misery” part seems to speak to me for some reason. Hmm…Anyway...

During football season, I typically go to Tuscaloosa the night before the game and stay with my parents in their RV. (They have a really nice one and color me surprised to learn that I actually enjoy it, despite my claustrophobia). Towards the end of the season I was finishing up getting ready and the RV next to us started playing “Beast of Burden” so naturally I got really into the song and had to sing along, loudly. My mother walked by and caught me doing something to my hair while singing:

You’re a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl

She promptly patted me on the shoulder and said, “Yes, you are a pretty girl!”

Too funny.
