Sunday Smile #26

Sunday Smile

Sunday Smile is a meme to share something about your week that brought a smile to your face (and will bring one to your readers). For me this is usually a forwarded message I got….the best one I received that week – the one that made me laugh out loud. So check out my Sunday Smile today and then go back to your blog and post something to make your reader’s smile – a forwarded like message, a story about something that happened to you, or even a photo of a funny moment….Then come back and sign Mr. Linky below so that we can all enjoy each other’s smiles as the week progresses and we get busy.

A woman goes into Cabela’s to buy a rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday. She doesn’t know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.

A Cabela’s associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, ‘Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?’

He says, ‘Ma’am, I’m completely blind; but if you’ll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.’ She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.

He says, ‘That’s a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. Test line. It’s a good all around combination; and it’s on sale this week for only $20.00.’

She says, ‘It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter.    I’ll take it!’ As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

‘Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,’ he says.

She bends down to pick it up and accidentally toots. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around?

The man rings up the sale and says, ‘That’ll be $34.50 please.’

The woman is totally confused by this and asks, ‘Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?’

He replies, ‘Yes, Ma’am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00 and the Catfish Bait is $3.50

Tell Me Thursday – Aug 20

Yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday post was a picture of my mom from Cameron’s birthday party last year.  I posted a picture of her because yesterday was her birthday. My mom and I have always almost always been really close.  I think maybe one of those reasons (besides the fact that she’s just a great mom) is that she was pretty young when she had me so in some ways we grew up together.  Another reason I think is that I was the only child living at home for 10 years.  This means that I was the focus of her attention for a very long time, and even when I wasn’t the only child, I was still the only girl for 3 more years.

In any case, yesterday was Mom’s birthday.  I’d tell you how old she turned, but if she happens to read this, she’d kill me. So I’ll just say that she’s younger than all of my friends’ moms (and she was less than 40 when she became a Nana).  Love you Mom! and Happy Birthday again!
