The Odd Reighley Dialect

| | Comments (1)

I tend to give stores silly names. Cuppa Joe's for example is the local coffee shop. My kids know it only as "The Coffee Store" When I want to have a drink with one of my friends, we usually go to a local Irish Pub, O'Doughrtys. In my dialect, this is simply known as "The Guiness Store" Some stores are named not so much for their wares, but their ambiance. I call Old Navy "The thump thump Store" for it's music.

The kids and I went to the new Cabella's store in Post Falls Idaho a month or so ago, and their Grandma bought them a couple of very nice stuffed animals. Nathan has really taken a liking to his black lab "Gracie"
He had been waiting anxiously ever since to take Gracie to Sharing at his pre-school.

Last week his chance came. Apparently Gracie was a pretty big hit at show in tell. As we where leaving, the teacher pulled me aside. "Just one question.... What in the world is a "Really big dead animal store?"

Andee gave the "Outdoorsman's Warehouse" the moniker "Dead animal store" (For it's decor) Nathan apparently saw the similarity and added the "Really big"

When my nephew, Trent, was younger every grocery and convenience store was known as, "the donut store."
