HEADS – Joke
This book came to my mind when I read today’s them/prompt :
Read my other entry in my other blog for the story behind this book and also a joke. Now, let me share with you one excerpt from that book. Which currently, I am trying to assess myself if this is applicable to me. lol.
Top 5 Ways to Spot a MOTHER on a DATE
by Becky Freeman
1. She immediately moves all salt, pepper, and sugar packets out of arm’s reach.
2. She reaches in her purse, pulls out a baggy of Teddy Grahams, and offers them to her husband as a pre-dinner appetizer.
3. She gives her order to the waiter in baby talk. “Is the pasta that twisty around and around kind or the itty-bitty baby snail shell kind? Because the twisty around and around kind tastes really yucky.”
4. She stands up and tucks her husband’s napkin under his chin. Then she returns to her seat, folds her napkin into the shape of a diaper and lays it in her lap.
5. Before leaving the restaurant, she asks her husband, “Are you sure you don’t need to go to the potty? It’s a thirty minute drive home now.”
I was laughing when I read this because I can picture myself doing all of this. In just two years, I turned into that kind of mother. How about you ?

*LOL* Yes, I can definitely relate. Luis is 2 years old and Lily 4 weeks… and me… I’m the mom you mentioned above. Now I’m wondering what I will be like in 2 years

hehehe Oh my, I can picture it! Do you remember that television commercial where the mother and father go out to the (live) theater for a date, and they’re looking all sophisticated, then the woman leans over to whisper to the husband, “that was an excellent use of iambic pentameter…wempameter”? I don’t remember what the advertisement was for, but I will always remember that scene.

I really enjoyed number three the most. You didn’t think I’d say #1 or #2 in front of a mommy now, did you?
My joke is posted; come on over if you can. It’s guaranteed to be ‘outside the box’ this week. “The Yolk’s on You!”
