Q: I told you we were going to get enough snow that we would need a shovel! What do you say now?
Eric: Oy Vey.
(Hey that’s my line! Get another one.)
Q: I also told you when we moved here from New Hampshire that we should bring at least one snow shovel. Now we need one. What do you say to that?
Eric: You’re always right. I guess we shouldn’t have sold the snow blower either.
Q: Thanks for not firing me last week. And guess what? I’m working on your new workshop dates tonight! (finally…) You pumped now?
Eric: Pump it up! Already had many emails wondering the dates. Get it posted!
This next question is in the form of a conversation:
Q from Eric: I cannot stand this commercial with these two on a date. I mean really. What would you have done on our first date if I, a man, told you that I’m into puppets?
Lynne: Uhm… seriously? Are you joking?
Eric: No. Why? Am I missing something?
Lynne: Hello! You, a man, told me you are a basket maker. Is there really a difference between the two? To me, they sound like the same thing. And I know your brother-in-law would agree.
Q: What aggravated you this week?
Eric: Snow without a shovel. I had to go all-out MacGyver on this storm! It took my shop dust pan, a paint roller handle, washer and sheet rock screw to tame this beast of a blizzard in middle Tennessee.
To make me feel better, can you show the video of the Aussies in Nashville that you recorded for me while I was working?
(I most definitely will! But apologize for the quality… I used my iPhone and it’s an old tv that my sister ‘donated’ to us that I use in my studio. Hey, we are artists on a budget — we gladly accept donations!)
I concur. I’m picturing two conversations on a first date…
convo #1:
Female says “what do you do for work?”
male says “I’m an electrician”
Female… “What do you like to do for fun?”
Male… “I’m into playing with puppets”
Convo #2:
Female… “What do you like to do for fun?”
Male… “I like to build things, I love sports and I drink beer”
Female… “What do you do for work?”
Male… “I make baskets”
Yup, same thing in my book.
Oh and for the record, Eric is the best basket making brother in law I could ever ask for!
Awwwwee…
