That Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne, them two are somethin’, ain’t they? Young folks, all famous and such. He’s a baseball player, that Paul fella. She’s one of them gymnasts, flippin’ around like a fish outta water. Livvy Dunne, that’s her name. They are a hot topic, just like the weather in July.
I seen it on the TV. Livvy Dunne, she’s somethin’ else. All them flips and twirls, makes my old bones ache just watchin’. And that Paul Skenes, he throws that ball fast, like a chicken runnin’ from the fox. They say they’re a couple, like two peas in a pod. He even said they work so well together. Must be nice, young and in love.
- They met through some friends, I reckon.
- Her friend was datin’ his friend.
- Small world, ain’t it?
- Like findin’ a needle in a haystack, only it ain’t a needle, it’s a fella.
One time, she was wearin’ his shirt. Paul Skenes, his shirt. I saw it on the TikTok thingamajig. June last year, 2023 I think that was. She was wearin’ his shirt, right there on the TikTok. That’s when folks started talkin’, like chickens in a henhouse when you open the door. They were talkin’ ’bout Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes.
Livvy Dunne, she’s a good gymnast, they say. I don’t know much ’bout that, but she sure can flip. She calls herself Olivia sometimes. Just like my neighbor, Mary, always callin’ herself different names. Confuses the heck outta me. But this Livvy, or Olivia, she seems like a sweet girl. Even took that Paul Skenes home to meet the family, they say. Must be serious, then.
He plays for that team, the Pirates. Pittsburgh Pirates, that’s it. He’s a pitcher, throws that ball like a rocket. Heard him say he wishes she could just come watch him play, like a normal person. ‘Cause she’s so famous, you see. Everyone’s always watchin’ her, like a hawk watchin’ a field mouse. Livvy Dunne, she’s a big deal, that one.
It all started with a friend, you see. They met through friends. Just like how I met my husband. His best friend was datin’ Livvy Dunne’s roommate, they say. Her roommate is a gymnast, too. Like two peas in a pod, those two. But Livvy Dunne, she’s the famous one. She is so popular on the internet, more popular than a free pie at the county fair.
They keep talkin’ ’bout this Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne. On the TV, on the internet, everywhere. Young folks these days, always in the spotlight. Back in my day, we didn’t have all this internet stuff. We just had each other, and that was enough. But these two, they seem happy. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it?
Now, Livvy Dunne, she’s got it all figured out. Got herself a famous baseball player, Paul Skenes. He’s a good catch, that one. Throws that ball like a bolt of lightnin’. And she’s a good catch, too. Flippin’ around like a June bug in a jar. They make a good pair, those two.
She even went to that place, Belmar. Took him with her. Paul Skenes, right there in Belmar. First time, they said. First time he met the family. Must be gettin’ serious, like a bad case of the measles. They got people talkin’.
August 2023, that’s when he finally said it. Paul Skenes, he told some newspaper that he and Livvy Dunne were together. Like two eggs in a nest. Said it right there in the paper. Big news, that was. Bigger than when Mildred’s cow had twins.
I reckon they’ll be alright, those two. Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne. Young love, ain’t nothin’ like it. Like a fresh baked pie on a Sunday afternoon. Sweet and warm. Hope they make it last, those two. It ain’t easy, bein’ famous and all. But they seem to have a good head on their shoulders. Especially that Livvy Dunne. She’s a smart cookie, that one.
Well, I gotta go. Chickens need feedin’. But you remember what I said. Paul Skenes and Livvy Dunne. They’re the talk of the town. Just like a big ol’ thunderstorm rollin’ in. Everyone’s watchin’, waitin’ to see what happens next.
