Ornaments, Taffy & "Wax Be Gone Baby Gone"

  Did you go to the Store? I asked. Bob said yes. What for? I looked in a sack and saw it was full of Christmas tree ornaments!  Why in the world did you buy these ugly ornaments? I got upset at that.  He knows I don’t do ornaments. Then I looked in other sack. There were 2 huge packages of salt water taffy. One was all peppermint and the other was mixed. Why did you buy this candy?

 You know, I'm trying to cut down on Sweets.  He just shrugged and said it seemed like the thing to do. Heather said, oh, it was my fault. I asked him to go to the store. I needed something. She said it was called “wax be gone baby gone.” What in the world is that? Can't you just use goo gone?  She explained why just goo gone didn't work. It had something to do with pooh.

Flying Chihuahua

But no, this was no ordinary pet like a cat or a hamster.  It was a flying Chihuahua the size of big dragonfly. It had a fun time flying around and especially over the gorge.   We looked all over hoping he hadn’t fallen into the gorge.  What happened? Eventually, the little body was found. How are we going to explain to the owner? We wrapped it in a tissue.

Dumb Candy

 

May 24, 2024--I wanted a candy bar--Snickers so I picked up the double kind.  I got to the checkout and it was not a Snickers bar, it was a little package of round pastel candies marble sized. Most of the candy was gone and I said oh I didn't I didn't eat that candy. I don’t even like it. I wanted that Snickers so I went back to the bin again at this time picked up a Milky Way so that I could share with Bob. Got to the checkout again, and it wasn't a Milky Way it was something else weird and a Tootsie Roll with 3 sections.  I said oh that is not what I wanted but oh well. So, how much is it to buy this candy and she said $5.03. Oh that's kind of expensive.  I got a $5 bill out of my wallet  and fished out some pennies. I hurriedly tried to eat the tootsie roll, but it wasn’t very good.  I sure got ripped off. Couldn’t figure out why the “good” candy got transformed.
