For some reason she has got it into her head that I can write a bit.
Can't imagine why, your Trip reports are just hilarious!
Melinda: What gifts, Steve?
Wendy: Yeah, what gifts?
Steve: Gifts.
Marita: Yes, you said that, but what gifts?
Steve: Just some stuff, nothing big.
Monica: You don't remember do you?
Kathy: Your right! He doesn't remember.
Lisa: I can't believe this.
Janet: He's unbelievable, it's Mother's day for crying out loud!
Steve: Excuse me? Just give me a chance, it'll come to me.
Patrick and Shawn: Hey, you're on your own, buddy.
Ok you seen it here first, Nebo The Musical. Here's the script and everyone memorize your lines!
Ok, I bought her a necklace with a thing hanging from it.
Yes, a THING! It might be a shark's tooth, or an alligator tooth, something like that. And I also bought her a kind of matching , white seashellish ankel bracelet.
You see , the reason it's not important to remember what I bought her is that any, and I mean ANY jewelryish type of thing that I buy my sweet little Smidgy, will be lost in 2 months anyway.
Now, all I have to do is figure out somehow to wrap this stuff. No wrapping paper, no scotch tape, no scissors. Scizzors. Holy Cow! I can't spell those squeezy things that you cut paper with. What's wrong with me?
Sizzerz.
Ok, but I even amazed myself at my resourcefulness. I asked the girl behind the counter for some tissue paper, which she handed over.
For tape I asked her for some "Mickey " stickers, and she gave me a bunch.
Yeah, this'l work!
And I sat out there early that morning, tying to wrap these things in about a 25 mile an hour wind, and hold it all together with Mickey stickers.
The guy in the table next to me by the pool had a hard enough time just trying to keep his page from blowing away reading the newspaper. He finally just folded it up, and decided the better entertainment was watching me.
At one point I had the sticker all ready, stuck to edge of the table for easy installment, and when I went to get it and stick it on the first foldover of the wrapping paper, it almost blew away, and I had to make a desperate "smoosh" with my hand. The problem was, now it was stuck to the back of my hand, still not quite sure how that happened.
And I'm holding the paper and gift in place with the other hand.
I was helpless, like a turtle on it's back.
I'm sitting there, trying to get this "sticker" off the back of my free hand, and I'm looking right at the guy at the table next to me.
He's now on his cell phone, calling the rest of his family and Disney Casting, to come watch.
Don't forget the dising community
I can tell by the looks on your faces, that this whole scene seems pretty frivolous, what's the big deal. But you don't understand. THis was my last sticker, I had used the other ones, "unwisly", and now I am out, with major "stickage" needing to be done. And just try to do this in the wind with an audience.
He didn't offer to help???
I stood up, let the chair fall forward and before it hit the table, pinch right in the spot that I was holding the present shut, rippped the sticker off my hand and ripped in half right away. Jammed the first half on the part I was holding, flipped the package and folded the other half over, and jammed down the second half of the sticker. !!!
I didn't even glance at the guy, just got up and left, I'm sure, with his mouth just hanging open in awe and shock! No, wasn't in the mood for signing autographs that morning.
Hmm, awe and shock. That could be catchy!
When I got back, she was in the shower, and, hee hee, I put the presents in my suitcase, like they have always been there.
time out, stretch the back, intermission time.
