Come Hell or High Water
One night, a torrential rain soaked South Louisiana; the next morning the resulting
floodwaters came up about 6 feet into most of the homes there.
Mrs. Boudreaux
was sitting on her roof with her neighbor, Mrs. Thibodaux, waiting for help to
come.
Mrs. Thibodaux noticed a lone baseball cap floating near the house.
Then she saw it float far out into the front yard, then float all the way back
to the house; it kept floating away from the house, then back in.
Her
curiosity got the best of her, so she asked Mrs. Boudreaux, "Do you see that baseball
cap floating away from the house, then back again?"
Mrs. Boudreaux said,
"Oh yes, that's my husband; I told him he was going to cut the grass today come
Hell or high water!"
