I just have to write (been
writing a bazillion words in the last two days for me, just not here).
And sometimes I just have to
share…when things strike me but especially my funny bone and this had us rolling on the floor, literally, at the end of the night when discovered.
A lovely friend invited me to
dinner last night knowing I was alone. She thoroughly tempted me with her
delicious fish tacos (fresh lake bass). I know she thought I’d say “no”, which
I actually considered doing for sure, but knew she could hook me with a favorite
meal. Dangling good food is a sure fire why to get me to do something.
As a guest, I refuse to just
sit tight when someone is working so hard in the kitchen, especially for me, so
I insisted that I help because if someone ever asks me while I’m preparing a
meal, I always find something to delegate. Tonight, I got to heat up rice and
beans (Woo Hoo!).
It was during last minute
preparations that my phone “quacked” (and I’d like to know who set it’s tone to
do that…not me!). The text was from my darling 21 year old daughter
who I hadn’t seen in a week.
Being busy in the kitchen, I
asked her best friend, daughter of the lovely dinner lady,
to answer on behalf of me. As me!
This is the conversation my
daughter thought she was having WITH ME
while out for dinner with her father…
(That's a martini glass, a swami, and two money bags)
I suppose, if it were truly true, he should be concerned. He knows me inside and out and the possibility of such cavalier and spontaneous behavior really makes his very practical head spin.
Have you ever seen the movie “Lost
In America” with Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty (a movie that makes us laugh
every time)? Here’s a small snippet of the plot!
“David
and Linda Howard are typical 1980s
yuppies in Los Angeles who are fed up
with their lifestyle. He works in an advertising agency and she for a
department store. But after he fails to receive a promotion he was counting on
and is asked to transfer to the firm's New York office instead, David angrily
insults his boss and is fired. He coaxes his wife to quit her job as well and
seek a new adventure.
The
Howards decide to liquidate their assets and drop out, "like in Easy Rider",
heading out to see the country in a Winnebago
recreational
vehicle. They leave L.A. with "nest egg", but don't get
very far. The plan goes awry when Linda loses nearly all their cash playing roulette at the Desert Inn Casino in Las Vegas.
I
think MY guy was thinking this. He should know better, however,
because I’m not a gambler…with money, that is!!!

I'm still stuck on the part that you have a 21 year old daughter????? You obviously adopted her when you were 10 years old.
oh my gosh..that is really funny!!
Glad you're back!!!! I really need to see that movie - love the American classics. I somehow starting getting texts from The High Schooler's friends yesterday but they were no where near as interesting as this one!
"Twas funny!
You are being waaaay too kind! But thank you none the less!!!!
It was Annmarie. And to think my guy for one second bought into it cracks me up.
Just wait until they get a bit older. These lake kids really know me well so they often pull such pranks on me.
I haven't seen the movie in a long time but the texting did remind me of it. I know the whole first half is funny but I forgot some of the last half. I should look for it "On Demand".
LOL! This is funny. I became an Albert Brooks fan (though I knew who he was) AFTER he played Nemo's dad. Somehow he was even funnier after that. I've never seen that movie, I might get lucky on Netflix.
Look for it. As I say, the first half is really funny especially in Vegas.
We leave our phones around a lot here so it's quite common to have a text conversation without knowing, new pics as screen savers and crazy ring tones ALWAYS. Sometimes I don't even know it's my phone ringing and someone will inform me, "oh, that's your phone." "Really?"
So much fun! Did she ever catch on that it wasn't really you?
Nope! Not until I told her. She just wondered what the heck was going on here.
Really funny. I'll be sure to never ask one of my kid's friends to text for me. Or my kids either.
It was so funny. She knows my sense of humor!
Christopher is locked out of my phone for that very reason. It's amazing how they learn how to 'do stuff" at such an early age. When he read a text message out to me that was the "first" straw.
Maybe I should put a pass code on my phone to prevent monkey business but it's funny, too. People would suspect I was doing something underhanded if I did, however. Ya know, mom's stuff is everyone's.....no it's not!
Heheh...we were just looking at an RV, wondering what it would be like to travel in one!
Too funny! Probably would be a ton of fun!!!
