Lesson in Excitement

Lesson in Excitement Folks these days don't know how to get excited, no more. Like the first time when they invented Pepsi-Cola and Laura got it, over in her store, in Newtown. Everybody went back and forth asking "How you like it? Whatchu think?" And, "Well, Ima go get me one, after awhile." Some folk, like me, just held the bottle, sipping, and wouldn't give nobody a taste just made 'em want some. Oh, we compared the size and shape of the bottle and some fools I know just loved that Coca-Cola bottle! Said the Pepsi bottle wasn't made right; it couldn't taste right. The taste? Aw hell, I reckon it tasted all right. That ain't the point. Tm talking about how we useta could get excited. Y'all don't even know what that was like. Don't even know what Tm talking about. —doris davenport 82 ...
