#12 - Boudreaux's Daughter's Engagement
Mais watch out cher, dat Boudreaux he watch you!
Boudreaux's daughter brings home her new fiance to meet
Boudreaux & Clotile. After dinner, Clotile tells
Boudreaux to find out about the young man. Boudreaux
invites the fiancee to the back room for a drink.
"So what are your plans?" Boudreaux asks the young man.
"I am a scripture scholar." he replies.
"A scripture scholar. Hmmm," Boudreaux says, "Dats
good, but what will you do to provide a nice house for
my daughter to live in?"
"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will
provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring?"
asks Boudreaux.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man
replies, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks Boudreaux. "How will you support
de children?"
Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the
financee.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time
Boudreaux questions, the young man insists that God
will provide.
Later, Clotile asks Boudreaux, "Mais, how did it go,
Boudreaux?"
Boudreaux answers Clotile by saying, "He has no job,
and he has no plans, but the good news is ... he thinks
I'm God."
