My mother called me this morning. She doesn't see very well without her glasses. Last night, she made a salad and used a new salad dressing. When she was finished eating, she went to place the bowl in the dishwasher and noticed she had eaten her salad using her dog's bowl. She thought maybe the crunchy stuff was an ingredient in the new salad dressing. It was actually the crumbs from the dog food. LOL
This reminds me of taking my 85 yr old aunt out to dinner and she ordered the "oriental" plate. It came with a fourtune cookie and at the end of dinner she ate the fourtune cookie. As she was chewing she pulled the fourtune out of her mouth quite surprised. She had never seen a fourtune cookie before and had NO idea there was paper in it!!! Oh my we laughed for years over that one! She was giggling herself and said "What would make someone put a message in a cookie!!" I wish I could remember what the message said!
lol, seren, kissers and trev, thanks for the funnies! I could just see my 80 year old mom doing these things except she is WAY too uptight to admit it and laugh about it..thanks you guys! Hugs, J.
PS: actually what I love about al-anon is that when I get to be 80 and am doing these things I WILL be able to laugh about it and share it with others!! thank god!
Oh bless her heart! You know, kissers, when we can still laugh at things like this, all is well. I send all good wishes to your mom, but tell her when I come to dinner, I'll fix my own salad!!!!Diva
