So I'm in Dubuque and don't have a lot of time to write...but I had to add a few funny things.
So the other day at work, a woman asked for a rosary with the holy grail on it. I instantly imagined Monty Python and tried to keep a straight face whilst saying, "Umm...I don't think we have any of those." HOLY GRAIL??
And then last night my mom was heading out for a walk with my aunt and she said "I'm leaving for a walk" to me...and the dog jumped up and got excited. So she's like "Uh oh...no, no, I said WORK, not WALK..." but the dog didn't believe her. Then she went to get her socks and Ginger started jumping around like crazy, and she's like "What is her problem?" and I said "She sees the socks. She knows you're going for a walk." So the only solution to this problem was what instantly came to mind. We put the socks on our hands and started talking to the dog using our new "sock puppets". I think Ginger thought the sock puppets were scary because she started running toward me and getting kind of ferocious, and I didn't know what to do, so my mom created a diversion on the other side of the kitchen. Then we both started talking to Ginger with the sock puppets again; and I realized how hilarious it would be if my dad walked in while we were talking to the dog with sock puppets. So, as soon as I share that hilarious thought with my mom, in walks my dad...and we ripped the socks off of our hands and laughed ourselves silly. Oh dear.
Off to hang out with the old time gang!! :) Hurrah!
