Not the Offer I Was Hoping For

One funny story for today despite the general annoyance that was my day.  Felt like I was fighting a constant battle for order.  I'm glad to be going somewhere new tomorrow.

But onto the story: during a work time today I was talking with two boys - let's call them Joe and John.  Joe was telling me how he was making a Mother's Day card.  John said he was doing the same.  They then started listing things they could write on their cards, one of them being, "I love you mommy."  A girl nearby overheard this and commented, "Ew!" The boys then started teasing her a little for not telling her mom she loved her.  I said something about how you should always tell your mom you love her, to which Joe agreed.  Somehow the girl misheard and asked me, "You're Joe's mom?!"  Then I had to tell her that no, I was not his mom.  I told her I was not old enough to be Joe's mom.  Then another girl joined in the conversation, asking, "Do you have any kids?"  To which I said no.  She then asked me if I had a husband, to which I again replied no.  It was at this precise moment that John yelled out eagerly to me, "You're single?!  My dad's looking for a new wife!"

I could do nothing but laugh, it was so so funny.

It made me laugh out loud. I could just see the kid keeping his eyes peeled for any good prospects for his dad. Glad you had something to laugh at today amid the annoyances.
Love you!!! MOM

I think that's my favorite story so far! Goodness that's funny. The boys keep asking me why I'm laughing, cause I'm still chuckling while typing this. Hope you have a good weekend. Rhonda
