Randomivity

When eating at a tapas restaurant, you should always wait for a big table instead of accepting the smallest on simply because it’s ready right now. Why? Because you typically order 2-3 each and that’s 6 small plates, plus a pitcher of sangria, plus water glasses, PLUS the plates you eat off of…makes for a pretty crowded table…

It’s hysterical when a 5 year old tells her teacher that her aunt has “an itching disease”. (I’m not the aunt she was talking about, and the itching disease was really just an itchy back.)

It’s also hysterical when a 5 year old fondles a strangers coat buttons on the T.

Not to be repetitive, it’s also funny when someone says, “He’s Asian” and a 5 year old says, “Does he know he’s Asian?”

You do not even know how wonderful it is to have a parking space…a whole new world has opened up and it mostly involves groceries.

It’s always nice to get an unexpected present in the mail.

Some risks are worth taking-others not so much. Trouble is, you never know which one is which until the end…

When bringing an expensive item to the dry cleaners (chef coat) it’s never a good feeling when they can’t find the shirt of the person in front of you.

If you ever get a chance to smell me you are lucky because I smell good.

Spending the entire day with your legs in the air sounds like it would be a lot of fun, until you find out it is because you are trying to avoid a pesky mouse that ran under your desk at work.

Standing in an elevator for 3 floors with a man who smells like McDonalds fries and rancid butt is not fun.

1. You'll be glad to know that the mouse wasn't around yesterday. I'll let you know if there are any mouse sightings today.

2. Mmmm... Sangria...

3. "Does he know he's Asian?" is hilarious. I think you could write your own "Kids say the darndest things".

I would like to smell you:)

Kat said...

Does he know he's Asian? *lol* it cracked me up.

I hate stinky people. Don't they realize there are showers that can be taken in the morning? Glad to hear you're smelling good. Not to sound creepy but I was sure you would;o)

Linda said...

Yep, this is quite random but quite funny!

Better luck next time with those legs in the air!

Marilyn said...

It is good to smell good.

Hopefully the mouse won't be back. You seem to have a rough time with mice.

This was a great post.
I love Linda's "better luck next time with your legs in the air" and Rye Bread's "Does he know he's Asian?":
Oh, and I'm glad YOU're not the aunt with the Itching Disease!

I just posted "Home" at It’s A Blog Eat Blog World, and I'll pray that it gets Linda some more donations to bring Jamie HOME.

When I was really little I overheard my mom tell my dad that she "gave this guy her finger" because he cut her off in traffic. I got upset and asked my mother if he gave her back the finger.

Granted, my mother's the type to almost NEVER use any type of obscenity.

At least your legs were not in the air with McDonald's/rancid Butt guy....

lala said...

I think you rode the elevator with one of the housekeepers at the resort where I work. They all seem to smell like that. =P

What if your legs were in the air because you were in the gyno's office? That wouldn't be so great a time either. =)

crazy working mom said...

OMG, you cracked me up with the legs in the air one! :)

You're too funny, AND ya smell good. ;)

Travis said...

YAY for parking!

Desert Songbird said...

Ditto Travis - Yay for the parking space!

And if you smell like baked goods, then I'd be in heaven.

I love when my daughter is home and she showers up and does all the girly stuff. She smells great. I've been told that I do too. *blush*
