Do you know what happens...

when you put a pen on top of your microwave?  It rolls OFF, and down into the toaster. When you repeatedly try to pop your bread down to toast, and you finally look inside the toaster...lo and behold, you see that the pen has MELTED into the slotting tray. You spend a good fifteen minutes trying to dislodge the pen, and readjust the slot, which is all bent to you-know-what.  Your toaster works, but one side doesn't toast properly, of course!

when you assume that what you see hanging from the showerhead is to clean the shower? Well, that white, gauzy, long piece of cloth was NOT to clean the walls of the shower/tub.   It was my friend's exfoliating cloth!!!! Oh dear! Good job she was able to rinse it out, was NOT too upset, and was relieved to know that I hadn't actually scrubbed the tub with her cloth.  How do you spell CHAGRIN?  Many times over!!!

when you wear new white pants and a white top, to a lobster dinner?  Never mind that you wear a bib, and that you remain seated the entire time you eat your delicious lobster. When you stand up and go to the washroom at the end of the meal, to clean up those sticky hands and forearms, several women rush over, all concerned, to tell you that you have "TOMALLEY" on the back of both your upper legs!  You know, that green stuff.  Holy Moly AND tomalley! How did that happen? No amount of washing gets that green guck off completely.  Darn it, I was sure I had EATEN it all!

when you take a little eight year old girl to the movies for the first time in her life, and the movie is  "Aladdin" in 3D?  She has a smile from ear to ear the entire time.  It is such a wonderful, magical evening.  I don't think I have ever enjoyed a movie so much, since the time I took my children to see Ghostbusters 2.  My five year old daughter was enthralled, but my seven year old son was terrified and ended up sitting in my lap for most of the movie. :)

they make a mistake at the grocery checkout and don't give you the correct sale price? One bag of salad was entered at the sale price, but not the second one. When I returned to the store, I was refunded the $6.00 charge and the bag was free.  So... two big bags of prepared salads cost me $1.00 each.  Pretty sweet, I say!

Speaking of sweet...what happens when you taste your first wild strawberry of the season?  You taste a little bit of heaven. 

May your summer bear only the sweetest fruit.

BON ÉTÉ À VOUS TOUS!
