A conversation in the Family Room this evening...
SWMBO: Did Meat Loaf die recently?
Elisson: No.
SWMBO: Well, some musician died not too long ago.
The Mistress of Sarcasm: Captain Beefheart.
SWMBO: Oh. Meat, beef, whatever. I knew it had something to do with dinner.
She sounds just like my mom. Years ago, she said she'd really like to see that new movie that was out. What was it called...? Freight Train From China? We all looked at each other. Finally, it dawned on me: Murder On The Orient Express.
ReplyDeleteOh, Yeah! She said. That's it! I'd really like to see that movie.
At least she had the right protein group, otherwise she may have come up with Hot Tuna, if you remember them.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention Leftover Salmon...
ReplyDeleteThrow in Bread and we're on our way to a pot luck dinner.
This is very funny. This is absolutely a Mommism. I can picture my Mom saying that, and my kids now laugh all the time at the stuff I come up with. I get a lot of blank stares...
