Who He Knows

Walter and the boys get their hair cut every four weeks. They go to a barber shop in our little town. It's reasonable prices and the woman does a really good job.

The owner of the shop is a Hispanic woman (who I will call Rachel just for this story - I really don't know her name) who speaks broken English but is very kind.

Walter told our pastor about this little shop. He goes there every so often when he's in town.

Unbeknownst to Walter, Pastor had gotten his hair cut and had left a gospel tract with her inviting her to our church. The next time Walter and the boys went in to get their hair cut, Rachel commented about the tract and he told her that was our pastor (Walter has given Rachel a gospel tract or two inviting her to our church as well).

A few weeks back, Pastor went in to get his hair cut. As she was cutting his hair, they had a discussion.

Apparently, Walter had tried to describe Pastor to Rachel and she didn't understand. As Pastor and Rachel were talking, he described Walter and the boys to her. She knew exactly who they were. And then she had her very strong opinion about Walter's descriptive abilities.

She said, "He no no how to scribe who he nos!" (you must use a very strong Spanish accent when saying this)

Um......I think he needs some work on describing people (at least in Rachel's opinion)!
