Despite the cold weather we've been having lately (yes, Florida does get cold occasionally--it snowed in the Panhandle the other day!), the fly is still buzzing around and overhearing some weird conversations.
"What's that supposed to mean?? You've been looking at my face for almost 42 years now....."
"I overdid it tonight on dinner. I'm so full, I feel like the Pillsbury Doughboy."
"No, you're the Pillsbury Dough GIRL, so we're going to make donuts with that dough."
"Mmmm...doughnuts."
"Didn't you just say you ate too much??"
"Thanks for starting a fire for us tonight, but why does the fire smell so fishy?"
"Because I bought the special carp-scented logs."
"Remind me next time to serve the logs for dinner instead."
"I'm so tired of hot flashes and fatigue....."
"But you're past menopause age."
"But you're past menopause age."
"Long after menopause is gone, it leaves a residue of body revenge."
"Sure---we would have been stinkin' rich with a sparkling modern home in an upscale neighborhood. Instead, we opted for the other plan---broke, with four kids who sucked the youth out of us."
"I have a wrinkle cream for that."
"What's it called, Children be Gone?"
"The squirrels look fuzzy and fatter than normal. I guess it's their winter coat."
"And the squirrels are looking at us and thinking, oh look, the humans are fatter than usual--- they must be wearing THEIR winter coats!"
"Hey grandkids, your grandfather used to ride on the back of the family's giant St. Bernard like a cowboy when he was a kid."
"No, I rode on the back of a triceratops because that's how old I am."
"Why? What's wrong?"
" I ate too many Ramen noodles. I feel like I have a belly full of tapeworms."
"Cheer up! Tapeworms are the new wonder drug for weight loss!"
That's it for this month. I'd better go check on my husband before he puts a saddle on our pug for the grandkids to ride. Does anyone have a cowboy hat?
