(00:21):
what we're gonna Buggle up and hold on tight. We
got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew.
Subject the Cookie Lady is back in town. Dear Stephen Shirley.
I'm a forty three year old woman and I have
a small group of friends who have all known each
other since high school. We've been strict about quarantining, so
(00:41):
we agreed to meet once a week for drinks and dinner.
It's really helped us feel better and maintain a sense
of normalcy with all the craziness going on in the world.
About a month ago, another girl who went to high
school with us moved back into town. But there's just
one problem. She's slept with all of our husbands, yes,
(01:04):
all of them. This girl was very promiscuous and yeah,
she was very promiscuous in high school and was known
for being the girl that all the guys went to
for some easy cookie. She even gave a cookie away
when she was in college. So now me and the
group are concerned because she reached out to us and
(01:24):
said that she would love to be in our weekly gatherings.
The problem is that we don't trust her and we
don't really think she's going to fit in well with us. Yes,
it was a long time ago, but some of that
resentment is still there. Also, she is still single and
in much better shape than the rest of us who've
had several children. We are afraid that our husbands will
(01:47):
see her and have flashbacks of how she was in
high school and college. My husband saw a photo of
her on Facebook and said he couldn't believe how good
she still looks. I'm not sure why he was comfortable
enough to tell me that, but it really put me
on edge. I call my best girlfriend and told her
that I don't think we should bring this woman into
our close knit group. She agreed. Do you think we're
(02:10):
being overly sensitive about this? No, nope, I don't think
you're being overly sensitive at all. I think you're right
on point. I think you have a reason to be
concerned about girlfriend. This woman, the cookie lady as you
call her, has slept with all of your husbands. They
weren't your husband's then, but you know that was a
(02:30):
long time ago, but the thought of it probably still
pains you a little bit or something. You still feel
some kind of way about it, and you know this
woman could be trouble. She could be trouble. You don't know.
Can people change, Yes, absolutely, they can change. Most definitely
did she change? We don't know who knows if she's
(02:50):
changed or not. But there is a reason you don't
trust her. I think I would take this as a
wake up call, though I really would. I'm switching gears
here a little bit. I would take this as a
wake up call because your husband, you said in the letter,
commented when you showed him a picture of her on
Facebook that she still looks good and he felt very
(03:14):
comfortable saying that to you. Red flag. So she's in
great shape, you're saying, and you guys aren't because you've
had children, you know, which means that your friends aren't
in good shape either. They've had children too, and you
said several So I think what you and your girls
could do and maybe should do. Instead of meeting to drink,
(03:37):
you know, with the whole group drink and eat, maybe
just the ladies could start like a diet club, start
working out together. Okay, all right now I'm gonna remember
that comment, right. I mean, maybe you guys him not
a down and and uh you know, so I think
(03:58):
maybe to something like this, you ladies can invite the
cookie lady, you know, to join you for something like that,
just the girls, just the ladies, no men, no husbands.
This way, I think you ladies will have a chance
to meet with her, feel her out, you know, see
if if she's changed, See if you guys want to
take it any further with her, if you, in the
(04:19):
future you do want to bring her around your husband.
You got to see. People do change. But I think
you know, if you're feeling not so good about the
way you look because of what your husband said about her,
that's a good time to meet up and do something
about it. Steve, Well, normally I don't start at the
back of the letter, but that's where Sherley you started,
(04:39):
so I feel compelled to do the same thing. After
this whole letter. The question is, do you think we're
being overly sensitive about this. No, Now, why do I
think you're not being overly sensitive? Three things? I think
y'all scared. I think y'all should be scared. And I
(05:03):
think she could have changed, but your husbands ain't interested
in change. Now, let us begin with the letter forty
three went to college with this girl. You get together
with all your friends, y'all, with the school with doing
the quarantine every friday, y'all having a good time. About
a month ago, another girl went to high school with y'all,
(05:26):
moved back into town. Here she comes, but it's just
one problem. She has slept with all our husbands. Yes,
all of them. Well, damn, how many of y'all listen?
Because that ain't that ain't got a number, all of them,
every last one of them. We need to do some
testing in this little group here. That's what we need
(05:50):
to do. Some damn testing. Is this little group right here?
Ain't y'all being extra friendly? And hey, lady, I know
you didn't think, lad, we're gonna go like this, but
I just want to throw that out. This girl was
very promiscuous in high school. There's no being that girl
(06:11):
that all the gas went to for some easy cooking everybody.
She even gave a cookie away where she was in college.
Oh so did what she do? Well? Hold on, hold on,
and I blame she the stadium, you know, concessions, lady,
cookie hair, get your cookaes hair, even calling it the
(06:35):
cookie in the first place, with your book. Look, we'll
have her. Two of Steve's response coming up at twenty
three minutes after the hours, So don't go anywhere. Subject
today of the Strawberry Letter, the Cookie Lady is back
in town. Get your cookies here. We'll be right back.
You're listening Morning show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's
(06:56):
recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject the cookie Lady is back
in town. Forty three year old lady got a group
of friends. They went to school together. They all get
together once a week doing this COVID to help her
deal with the craziness. They all being quarantined so everybody's safe.
They feel comfortable one another. Um. They got about a
month ago, another girl from their school came back to town.
(07:19):
But here's the problem. The girl is coming back to
town to slept with all of the group's husbands. All
of them ain't missed, No, damn body clean, sweep, total
bow everybody, Hey, cloas cockade everybody. She just come out
(07:50):
to castle and blow the trumpet. Cookcase you're crazy. She
even gave a cookie away when she was in college.
Now you're in the group is concerned, and rightfully so,
because she didn't reached out and says she would love
it being on that weekly gatherers. How she found out
(08:10):
about the gathering, Oh, for her had just come back
into town for a month and find out about these
weekly gatherings. Maybe one of your husbands said, you know
what day they get together? Every Friday? Because if y'all
surprised about it, where where did they get the information?
(08:30):
Unless y'all small ass town is really really small. Now
this whole group has been affiliated with one another. The
first thing we need to do we need some testing
done in this group. Let's just go back over there.
We need some damn testing going on in this time,
right and it ain't COVID. I ain't talking about COVID.
(08:52):
We need to get some testing done all right now
the problem is that we don't trust her, and we
really don't think she's gonna fit in well with us. Oh,
you don't think she will fit in well with y'all.
But you ain't ask y'all's husband. Still see what they think?
(09:13):
You know? So, now here we go. People change, things change.
Oh now she just slept with all y'all's men. Times
have changed. It was a long time ago, but some
of that resent me is there also now here we go.
She's still single and in much better shape than the
(09:36):
rest of us who've had several children. He'll go to
damn problem right here, she still banging. Oh now, Shirley
surprised me with her answer, Tommas, since y'all get together
every Friday, and y'all are a little worried because she's
still fine. Shirley did what Carlinil won't let me. Ever, dude,
(10:01):
I can't fashi. Ain't nobody I get called out? Oh
but now you're talking about instead of sitting around drinking,
why don't y'all's ass get together and eat the right
damned foods instead of drinking, Why don't y'all have celery
juice and chew on some carriage or something and try
to get some of that weight off y'all's ass instead
of sitting over here. There here comes this little, fine,
(10:23):
little smoking ass thing that your husband saw on Facebook
and had the nerve to tell you he couldn't believe
how good she still looked, don't let this girl in
your group. She can't get in this group. It's a problem.
She's a Facebook problem. Now you don't think your husband
(10:44):
just said to the other hoods and man, you've seen something,
so girl, you need to see this thing right here.
She still got it now, surely said now, first of all,
your husband is stupid. Let me just extract. Your husband
is the biggest damn idiot I've ever seen. Now, y'all
(11:06):
gonna let her skinny ass in the group? Still fine,
still banging, she's single, she ain't gave birth to no kids.
Now here she comes. I don't think we have a
solution to this letter, except you can't letting her banging
ass back in this group. You called your girlfriend and
(11:26):
you told her you don't think that, and your girlfriend
agreed because she looked her up on Facebook too and said, loge,
do you think we're being overly sensitive? No? I don't.
Now do people change? Yes, they change, and obviously she
has changed for the better. Because when a woman getting
(11:47):
in her forties and still holding it together, that's a
bad chick right there. And if they get in their
fifties and still holding together, that's a bad chick right there. Yeah. See,
because the chances of everybody holding it together in their
farties in fifties gets slimmer and slimmer. So now you're
gonna invite You're gonna invite the fat person to the
(12:12):
to the path eaton contest. How you think that's gonna
work out? This is a sad day, Yes it is, Yes,
it is because Sherton and according to Shirley, it is
gloom dude, and all this happy hour y'all having start
bringing celiby to these happy hours. As Shirley's suggested, you
(12:33):
could have had a va instead of that damn Margaret reader.
Think got skinny, Margarite, Take a picture of that girl
off of Facebook and bring it to the next meeting,
y'all ask quit eating? All right? Thank you? Steve. Post
