Bonnie and Clyde Robison Vicki: Do you remember a few weeks ago when that 79-year old man with dementia came up missing? Dee: Yeah, I got a call from a robot. Vicki: A ROBOT? Dee: Yeah, they called me up to tell me he was missin and I kept tryin to ask questions about him cause I thought they was talkin about that crazy old man that walks up and down the street all the time collectin millennium cans, but they wouldnt stop talkin to me and I couldnt get a word in cross-wise. Thats when I realized I was talkin to a robot. Vicki: Dee, hes not crazy! A lot of people collect aluminum cans for extra money. Dee: Im not sayin hes crazy cause he collects cans. Hes crazy cause he wears a dirty ol leisure suit. Vicki: Okay, so perhaps hes a bit out of style... Dee: I might not know what the style is today, but I know that leisure suits went out a LONG time ago cause they only lasted for a year or two cause people were too busy takin dope to have enough sense to dress right. Vicki: ANY-way, I was going to tell you that when that guy came up missing, Alma and two of her elderly friends were playing telephone tag all day and they distorted the story to the point of hilarity. Dee: Was that his name? Vicki: What? Dee: Larity? Vicki: No, I said HILARITY. In other words, they traded stories all day long until the story became a totally different story. The story went from a 79-year-old man with dementia is missing to a man and a woman robbed a bank or a convenience store or something, then shot somebody, and are now on the run from the police. For a few hours Alma thought the man they were searching for was my brother, and the woman my sister-in-law, because nobody in her neighborhood was familiar with their car and they had dropped me off and picked me up from work a couple of times during their visit. Everything that happens in Paris takes place on her block, as far as shes concerned. She even tried to talk one of her friends into calling the Paris police department to tell them that my brother and sister-in-law were only here for vacation and she was pretty sure they didnt do it. Dee: Whats WRONG with her? Vicki: She just lives in a tiny little world and you know how the details of a story can change with each retelling. I could tell one person that a man at the bank was very angry because he wasnt getting served quickly enough and they could retell the story with the man threatening the cashier. Before you know it, the guy robbed the bank, shot somebody and took a hostage with him. Dee: Scott better be glad he went back to Utah! He shouldnt come here and yell at the bank tellers! No WONDER Alma thought it was him! Copyright © 2014 by Vicki Robison All rights reserved
