Jaxon and Deb have some kin folks here in the Augusta area and frequently visit 'em.
Well, they were here this past weekend and I need to tell y'all what happened. Jaxon, Deb, and myself were over at the Waffle House having some coffee while they took a brief respite from the kinfolks.
When I've stayed at their house they have a single bed which does some of that adjusting and I really liked it. I told 'em I was thinkin' about buying would of the adjustable beds that go up, down, sideways, crossways, and all that. During the conversation, Jaxon said, "Yeah, in the early days of our marriage we had us a water bed!"
Then, Deb sort of rolls her eyes and says, "Yes, we did. It was really 'The Dead Sea' with him in it."
About that time I said I was going to the Mall to buy a couple of books at Barnes and Noble and asked Jaxon if he would like to come along. After getting permission from Deb we left the Waffle House and headed to the mall while Deb went back to the kinfolks.
After buying two books, I said to Jaxon, "You know Deb is really a fine woman and is more than you deserve?"
He said, "You're right. I think since we are in the mall I should go in one of these stores so I can buy her a little something to show how much I care for her. What do you suggest?"
I told him, "Look Macy's is right down here and they sell perfume. Womens always like perfume."
So we took off for Macy's and went to the perfume counter which had a gooooooddddd looookinnnnn' woman child workin' behind it.
Jaxon told her his wife was very special to him and he'd like to buy her some perfume.
She reached in the display case and set a small, beautiful bottle on the counter. Opened the top and asked Jaxon to smell it.
He did and said "Man, that's nice. How much is it?"
She smiled and said, "Sir, it's only $250."
"What!!??" exclaimed Jaxon. "That's too much! Ain't you got somethin' cost less than that?
"Yes, I do" she said sweetly as she set a smaller bottle on the counter.
Jaxon looked and smell it and then inquired, "How much is this one?"
She replied, "It's a bargain at $130."
" $130! Ain't you got somethin' cheaper?"
Kind of annoyed, she brought out a tiny bottle and told him it was $50.
"Look," explained Jaxon, "my wife's a wonderful woman and I really want to show her how much she means to me. I'd really, really like to see something real cheap."
The young lady smiled, reached under the counter and pulled out a mirror and handed it to Jaxon.
