It keeps the hot things hot, and the cold things cold One morning, Boudreaux pulled up to Thibodeaux's house to give him a ride to work. As Thibodeaux got in the rusted, beat up truck he noticed Boudreaux's Thermos on the seat between them. *""What's dat?""*, he asked, pointing at the Thermos. *""Oh, dat der's a 'termos I gots at da Walmarts last night.""* said Boudreaux, *""It keeps da hot things hot, and da cold things cold.""* Come lunchtime, Thibodeaux's jaw dropped as Boudreaux poured out steaming hot gumbo from his Thermos. The next morning, Thibodeaux was beaming with pride when climbed into Boudreaux's truck and placed his own Thermos next to Thibodeaux's. *""I see you gots a 'termos for ya'self""* *""Yep, I sent Marie ova to da Walmarts to get mes one,""* Thibodeaux replied, *""but I smarter than you.""* *""How ya figure dat?""* *""You know how ya said it keeps da hot things hot, and da cold things cold? Well, mines got gumbo ... and a popsicle!""*
