“If you don’t show me what is in your hands I will not play with you later.”
Birdie’s hands didn’t budge.
“Very well,” C. Riley sighed heavily with regret, “I will not play with you.”
………………………….
“Mom, after I am done with my grammar may I resume the operation on Ginger?”
………………………….
After refusing a piece of ham that her brother happily gobbled, Birdie muttered, “He is such a carnivore!”
…………………………
“Very well” “resume” “carnivore”
Sometimes my colleagues crack me up.
Your colleagues crack me up, as well. Indeed.
I am concerned, however, about the operation being resumed on poor Ginger. Who is Ginger? How long has she been waiting with her operation only half finished? Is her surgeon board certified?
Yes, Who IS Ginger?
MY colleague just busted in on the scene saying, “Do you want to go buy some frogs for you and me and puppy!!” (Finger pointed right at me for emphasis)
ME: Um, I don’t know.
Peanut: (Head pokes around corner of office startling me again) “You want to go do dat momma? Get some frogs for you and me and puppy??”
So, the Italians have red wine to keep them young and the Okinawans have seaweed.
Well, you have “Overheard at the watercooler” and I have to go buy some frogs. The exercise alone from frog purchases should get me at least to my 80’s.
Oh, I forgot.
I enjoyed “very well”, very much!
Ginger is a black Lab puppy stuffed animal that Christopher was given after his surgery when he had complications. We have a picture of him and Lydia sitting side by side in a wheel chair. In it, he is holding Ginger (the name on the tag) and she is clutching a stuffed bear he was given which, once she was able to speak, she promptly named, “Mama Bear”.
Christopher did resume the surgery and said,”He is recovering in the recovery room.”
When asked why Ginger needed surgery he said, “Because he had some bug bites from fleas.”
My dad would just cry if he knew his own grandson was a SURGEON and clearly performing a NEEDLESS surgery.
Oh Peanut where art thou?
We need to get those legumes together.
P.S. I might have found you a house.
GET OUT!!!
