Ring Ring...Chuckle Chuckle!

Happy Monday Morning to you all on this very average, gray looking, stormy, middle of February, spring-can't-come-too-soon day. Need a little Monday chuckle? Here you have it.


Ring Ring said the phone.

"Can I answer it, Mom?" from BlondeEmily.

"Be my guest." I say.

"Hello?" my pretty blonde girl says into the phone.


Pause.

"I'm not sure. Let me check."

Then she goes into the bathroom and closes the door.

Pause.

Pause.

The bathroom door opens and Emily proclaims.....

"That was the dumbest phone call I've ever answered! They wanted to know if our toilets were running...how lame is that."


Chuckle-Chuckle from the Mom and the Dad.

"What did you tell them?" we ask.


"I told them, sure enough they were running fine! Then they told me I'd better go and catch them. Humph. So stupid, wasn't it mom?"


Chuckle-Chuckle Chortle-Chortle from the Mom and Dad. 






Ring Ring said the phone. 


"Hello..." said MyDearMother.


"Well, hello there Ma'am. I'm happy to be calling today to offer you a free case of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup! All you have to do is sing the Campbell's Soup Jingle to us over the phone and the case of soup is yours!" 


"Sounds great!" said MyDearMother.

"Campbell's Soup is M-M Good. M-M Good. M-M Good...." she sang in her beautiful lilting voice. 


Silence on the other end....


Then.....

Chuckle-Chuckle, Chortle-Chortle from the Campbell's Soup Impersonators.

Love you, more than numbers


When I was a little girl MyDearMother would say,
"Love you, more than Numbers....."
 Wow! I would think. Numbers don't ever end!

I find myself saying it to my own kids now and then. Because it's true, and cute and it reminds me of my Mom...and I'm pretty sure she still loves me more than numbers. And sometimes I just like to remind myself of that really wonderful fact. 

 A couple of days ago LittleTwinBoyNate said to me...
 


"Hey Mom, guess what?"

"What!" I said.

"Love you, more than Letters!"

"Wow, that's a whole lot."


"Grandma Pam likes to say that too, hu Mom."


"Yep, she sure does."
