There was quite a crowd at the usual Saturday evening dinner table yesterday. Alan, Gloria, Tom, Mom, DD, Tracey, Ben and I all gathered around one of the big round tables at the Cracked Barrel in Morton. We got another of those waitresses in training I so love to cuss about. I ordered a house salad along with my meal and when she delivered it there was a soup spoon on the plate. I didn’t say anything to the girl but sincerely wondered how I got a soup spoon with a salad plate? I didn’t say anything though because it was harmless ... more utensils are better than not enough? We all joked about the salad spoon though. That was a first. Ben, Tom and Gloria separated from us when we went to Mom’s trailer to yak for a couple hours.
I had hoped the weather would cooperate this weekend so I could get the mower out and get it ready to go. I think I cleaned it up pretty well last year before I put it away but that was so long ago (last year!) that I don’t really remember. I really hate it when I leave it to the last minute and NEED to mow and then find out there is work to be done on the thing before I can mow. A part of me is looking forward to that first couple times around the place with the smell of fresh cut grass and the chance to be out in the sun and breeze. Another part of me remembers how it feels to get “mower back” from jouncing about on that thing.
Robot Lie Detector One day Kyle’s dad brought home a robot. The robot was special in that it could detect a lie and would slap the person who lied on the face. Kyle returned late from school that day and his dad asked him, “Son why are you late from school?”
Kyle answered, “Dad, we had extra classes today”.
Much to his astonishment the robot jumped up and slapped Kyle on his face.
His dad told him, “Son this robot is special in that it can detect a lie and will then slap the person who lied. Now come on tell me the truth. Why are you late?”
“Dad, I went to a movie”
“Which movie?”
“The Ten Commandments”
Immediately, Kyle got a slap on the face from the robot.
“Sorry Dad, I went to see the movie Sex Queen”.
“Shame on you son, when I was your age I never watched obscene movies or misbehaved”
Immediately, the dad gets a tight slap on the face from the robot.
Hearing the last sentence, Kyle’s mother comes walking out of the kitchen and sarcastically says to her husband, “After all he is YOUR son!!!”
To which the robot steps up and gives Kyle’s mother a resounding slap on her face!
