A couple of weeks ago you may recall that I sprained my ankle. My daughter was playing with the water hose and had left it laying across the steps to the front porch. When I walked out the door, I had stepped down on the handle and fell, spraining my ankle pretty badly.

Last night at cheering practice, the coach made a comment about tripping over the hose to me.....

I simply replied " Coach, if you came out of the house and found some Hose on your steps you'd Trip too!"

its amazing how words can be used in different context but still get the point out huh?


I know, pretty lame...but it was funny when it happend!

This reminds me of the time I had a door fall because the screw in the hinge was stripped, so I went to Lowe's and told the guy that asked if he could help me...................."Yes, I need a really long screw."

I didn't even realize what I had said until someone behind me started laughing!!!!

In a conversation about personality and senses of humour I said of myself

'I tend to be a little tart.'


Silence...followed by gales of laughter.



So easy to create an impression!

Yes it is funny.

When we lived in San Diego, my older son went to Tijuana to get a clay firepot that I'd been wanting. Someone came by and asked where he was and I said, "He went to Mexico to get that pot"

Could have been misinterpreted by someone overhearing the conversation.


That clay pot made in TJ lasted over four years, until we moved here and I gave it to a neighbor. We had the hottest fires in that pot. I bought one here at Home Depot and it lasted a month, and crumbled under the heat. Now we used a metal one.

A LONG time ago, back in Michigan, I had a roommate for a while. He was from deep woods Tennessee, and had a thick drawl.

As we were moving in, we realized we need some window blinds. We went to Target. He went up to a young female clerk and politely asked: "Wher'er your blonds at?" She smiled, blushed a little, and said: "I'm not one, but there's gotta be one around here somewhere."
