Nothing you can say....

There was a really nice lady that used to work for my Dad. She told us a story about a Thanksgiving dinner she had attended when her children were both very young. It was a typical Thanksgiving....every living member of her family was seated and ready to begin the meal when someone asked her young son to say the blessing.


It began normally enough, "Thank you for the food, especially the pies....." but ended like this:

"And thank you for MeeMaw and PopPop, and please Lord help Mama and Daddy stop smoking the pot....Amen."


Oi.

Even the GREAT grandmother was in attendance--she kept saying "Stop smoking the pot of what?"

Ok, I just came to ask you where you've been and then realized that my Google Feeder hasn't been giving me your posts. Dam them.

Ok, I'll be back soon to read all that I missed.
