4.) Relay an interesting conversation you recently had with someone that may or may not involve creating a Loch Ness Monster Theme Park.
Allow me to refresh your memories. Lolo is the sister who is two years older than me. Baby is the sister who is four years younger than me. Handyman is married to Lolo. He and I are like Mike and Carol Seaver. We give each other a lot of crap…all in jest…but when we have to be serious we can. If you ever meet him…just…he really likes his back rubbed. It’s important that when you talk to him you continuously rub his back and call him “babe”. He likes that.
Handyman: Ok I’m headin out to pick up ice cream for the kids…you guys want anything from DQ?
Lolo: I’ll have an oreo blizzard.
Baby: Mmmmm….I’ll take a Heath one!
Me: Uhhh…how about a Peanut Buster Parfait…minus the nuts.
Handyman: Ok so oreo and Heath Blizzards and a Peanut Buster Parfait…without the nuts?
Me: Yeah. No nuts.
Handyman: No nuts?? Really???
Me: No nuts.
Handyman: You don’t like nuts?
Me: Not on my Peanut Buster Parfait.
Handyman: But isn’t that the whole point?? I mean…nuts are IN the title!
Me: I know, but I don’t like them.
Handyman: Who do you think you’re fooling with that??
Me: What?
Handyman: By getting a Peanut Buster Parfait with no nuts…..you’re basically just getting a giant hot fudge sundae.
Me: Noooooooooooo….I’m getting a giant Par-fait.
Handyman: You’re getting a giant sundae and you’re a girl and you’re too embarrassed to just say “Hey pick me up a giant hot fudge sundae”.
Me: I’m getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Are the regular sized sundaes too small for you?
Me: I’m getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Are the regular sized sundaes not filling?
Me: I’m getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: Do the regular sized sundaes taste different?
Me: I’m getting a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: You know I have you totally figured out right?
Me: Just get me a parfait with no nuts.
Handyman: I will get you your giant sundae, but I want you to know that I know exactly what you’re up to. You might think you’re fooling everyone else…but you’re not fooling me.
Me: It’s not a giant sundae…it’s a parfait.
