A friend asked me, "How've you been?"
I told her, "I've been seeing this really cute young chiropractor. It's been great!"
Dead silence on the other end of the phone.
I couldn't help laughing and added, "Oh, yeah, my neck and back don't hurt at all any more!"
My mom found my step-dad drinking just hot water one morning. The inside of the mug was the same color brown as his usual coffee/milk. (Yeah, instant coffee. :sick )
"What are you doing, honey?"
"Figuring out how to build (whatever he was working on)." Sip.
"How's it going?"
"Fine." Sip...
I finally got a "chicken mug!"
@Isadora, that counter formica is a blast from my past! That's what we had on the counters of the house I grew up in. Thanks for the memory.
