Here are a few quick quips you might overhear in my house.
LOVE
Though not married, Spencer moved into his own home 20 miles
away. He was the baby of the family for
8 years, basking in bountiful wonderful auntie love. My boys have been spoiled rotten to the core
by their aunts. At this time Aunt Mary
Ann popped in moments before Spencer also popped in. We'd all been at the same church the day before and afterwards had had lunch together.
This tall, adult manager of Pizza Hut, with twinkling
adoration in his eyes reaches out his arms:
I love you!
Mary reciprocates: I
still love you!
Me: Were you two out
of love or something?
Spencer: Yes, it’s been a whole day.
ENEMIES
Overheard a Bays boy say:
An owl and a turkey are natural enemies.
Me: Does the owl eat
the turkey or the turkey eat the owl?
Who eats who?
John steps in: It’s a
Mutual Massacre!
VEHICLES
Spencer and I are checking Craigslist for me another
vehicle. I’d just sold my Mercury
Capri. He reads the ad aloud,
“2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP $3600, Peru, Indiana”
Me: How fast can it
be?
Spencer: Faster than
my Mini Cooper.
John: What’d he say?
Me: We’re going to Peru!
SNICKERS
Me: She said to do
it.
Him: Who said do it?
Me: The
customer. She was indifferent.
Him: Do what?
Me: She said to just
put her Snickers candy bar in the same bag with her little bottle of Downy clothes
softener. I had to chuckle at her, “You
not only want your candy to taste good but smell good, too!”
I enjoy your style of writing.
