Now all gather round with a good ale from Drywall. What I'm gonna tell you didn't happen, but if it did, it could only happen in deep south Louisiana, Cajun country.
" There was a little boy named Boudreaux. One day, Boudreaux brought himself home from school to find his mama laid up in the bed. Now Boudreaux knew his mama never lay in the bed when there was work to be done, so he says, "Mama, how come you in de bed? Is you sick, mama?" Boudreaux's mama says, "No, I ain't sick, Boudreaux! Now hush yourself. I got a brand new baby boy, Boudreaux. Come see!" Well, Boudreaux eased up to the bed and his mama threw back the cover and sure enough, there was a new baby boy. "Where did you get him, Mama?" Well, Mama wanted to get Boudreaux out of the house so he wouldn't wake the baby up so she says, "Out there, in the woods, in a stump, a hollow stump." Boudreaux says, "Mama, you reckon if I go look in a hollow stump, I might find a baby?" Mama says,(still wanting to get Boudreaux out of the house.) "You just might, Boudreaux."
'SHOOM!!' "Out the door and into the woods!" Boudreaux took himself to every hollow stump he knew of but no baby, no. Well, the day is starting to get long in the tooth(meaning it's getting on close to dusk) and Boudreaux is just about to give up and go home when he remembers one more hollow stump that he can get to and be home in time for supper. He gets to the stump and look in and there curled up sound with sleep is a.........possum. For those of you who don't know, a possum is like a big rat with an alligator grin.(All teeth.)
Boudreaux says to himself, "Whooeeee, what you thought about that! I done found me a baby, yeah! Mama's gonna be jealous now." Boudreaux picked that possum up and commenced to patting and caressing the possum as he made for home. Pretty soon that possum wake up and when he see his predicament, he sull. For you cityslickers, that means he play dead. Well, about a mile down the road, that ole possum gets tired of all that petting and caressing and when he do, he bring hisself out of that sull, and he latch onto Boudreaux's chest with all 55 teeth. With that Boudreaux lights out for home, bellering and bawlin' the whole way. Pretty soon, he meets up with an old man, who says, "Boudreaux, what you got there?" Boudreaux says, "It don't take a half an eye to see I got me a baby, that's what I got!" Well, Boudreaux, where'd you get him," says the old man. "Out there, in a stump, a hollow stump, and he's all mine.
"Well, Boudreaux, I can see that, but tell me, What you gonna do with him?" Boudreaux, who's been bellerin' and bawlin' during all this, says to the old man........................"I'm gonna wean him if he ever turns loose!"
