Happy Post
Okay, so I have waited a couple of days before I posted something, which I am not sure anyone is reading. Albeit, it proabably will help me to write better.... Let's see, what is that saying? Ah, She who writes often, will write best..., this according to Muzzy, my grandmother. Oh my, but I digress. As I was saying I had wanted to post something happy, since there seems to be a lot of sadness going on around me. Now, funny and happy things happen to me all the time, but I wanted the something new and fresh. However, try as I might to find humor, the only really funny thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
Jayne and I had hurriedly shopped for John's birthday present. We raced across to Oro Valley to find a PS3, which I thought was a blu-ray player, but in fact not only plays blu-ray movies, but games as well. Timothy, Matthew, and Joseph all concurred this would be great gift for Dad and sure please and surprise. Okay, so on the day before his birthday, I call around and find one store in the area that has one, and I plead for them to hold it for me. They would. we get there and the clerk brings out a Play Station 3. I look at it, and that to me was a game player, which I said, I would never buy. I lean over to Jayne and mention that he brought out a Play Station. Jayne points to the P in Play, the S in Station and the 3 and said, "Uh, Mama, P...S....3" Duh. I am dense. Okay, so we get this and a few other things and decided to stop at Micky D's since we have to hurry home to pick up Dad and go to a concert. We are all on diets but we are hungry, so we settle on chicken. We want the numbered meal (forgotten the number now) and ask for small fries and drink. Now here is where it gets either funny or sad. The teenager is puzzled. "But it comes in medium or large," she says. "We know, but we don't want medium we want small. I will pay for the medium, but give me small fries and small cokes."
No can doody. She gets the manager. The manager looks puzzled. "But this number comes in medium or large, not small. Again, I reassure the person that I am very willling to pay more for less, but I want less. The manager says, "I don't know how to do that." Well, get the small fry bag and put fries in it, and get the small paper cups and put coke in it. That is what I wanted to say, but the line formed and Jayne knew we'd be late so we leave with medium fries and coke. Oh, yes, and we get more change back than we needed, but that is another tale for another day.
