I Sure Hope He Didn't Take it Personally

Tom: "Would you like to go out to dinner for Mother's Day?"

Me: "Not really. I think I'd fancy avoiding the crowds."

Tom: "Would you like me to do something special for you for dinner at home?"

Me: "Yes."

Tom: "What?"

Me: "Fly Adam in."

Thanks a bunch for dropping by my blog to share some words of encouragement! I loved the anology to Kettle Corn, and actually think it was the perfect analogy.

Hope you enjoy you weekend, and Happy Mother's Day! :); May 09, 2008 8:19 PM

ClunkClunk said...: You'd have to fly Kristen in as well, since she made the sauce and assembled the whole thing. I made the dough, and did the parts that involved the oven (as Kris doesn't like hot stuff).

Next time we visit we'll make some pizzas.; May 10, 2008 10:02 AM
