Here's a recent phone conversation which should enlighten you to the goings on in my life:
"Hello"
"Hi, this is your mother."
"Hi, Mom."
"Hi."
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to tell you [name withheld] died of a heart attack."
"Thanks. But, I have no idea who that is."
"Yes you do."
"No, mom. I honestly don't remember him."
"Sure you do. You saw him once when you were five."
"Wait. Now that you mention it, wasn't he the guy who always wore the orange jumpsuit who went around town sucking on tail pipes and eating paint chips while punching midgets and children in the face?"
"Oh nevermind."
"He owes me ten bucks!"
"I said nevermind."

ReplyDeleteI believe you should put a disclaimer on your journal, something along the lines of " may cause bodily harm from falling off chairs from laughing, sugested diaper or depends wearing, do to laughing so hard causing pissin in pants , also the danger of losing body parts by lauging your butt off"
ReplyDeleteJust a sugestion

ReplyDeleteHey, Dan .... As the mother of a grown son, I think I can translate this phone call for you. Basically, it means " I just wanted an excuse to call and say hello to my son." ( I've been known to come up with equally lame excuses ) Tina http://journals.aol.com/onemoretina/Ridealongwithme
ReplyDeleteI agree...guys just don't get it! And they think women like teasing...and how many times has this worked over the years????
ReplyDeleteHey Dan, haven't been over here in awhile. Loved this entry! You still make me laugh!
ReplyDeletePam
Mom's can make you feel guilty for anything. ANYTHING. Like you not remembering a guy that you may or may not have even met! And me for not going out to BFE to pick up my grandmother tonight while the snow piled up. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I wish I was a test tube baby...
