If the truth were known...

It's Funny Friday
by Prudence and Vlad

Ha, there are some things that can't EVER be repeated, Mom would tear the stuffing (literally) out of us.

However there are those things that we can tell you, like her stupid flirting.  It has gotten her in plenty of trouble and funny situations.  She has this way of giggling and to some (men) it seems to send the "I'm flirting with you" signal,  accident? or on purpose?  That is the million dollar question, she swears it's the accident thingy.  (Clearing our throat here), like last week over at Beaver Lake, she loves walking there and there were lots of little fish feeding at the waters edge, which (if you remember that stupid, hilarious, fear of fish), so her thoughts were on watching to make sure none of them jumped out and got on her (like how is that possible, we mean, really?) 

Okay, flirting - accident or on purpose - a gentleman was standing on the path looking into the water, he turned and said to mom "look at that huge whatever, all she knew was it was FISH.  She stopped dead in her tracks looked in the water (thankfully saw nothing) and then it happened, accident or on purpose - she gave a little shiver, giggled and told this complete stranger "I'm afraid of fish".  It just comes out so normal like when someone says "hi", back to the stranger, total silence, she gave another shiver and she was off.  Did she look back? Nope, it was her normal reaction and she really didn't want to see the look on his face, probably falling down laughing.

The supermarket, good grief, there are endless numbers of stories.  She walks in a large half circle IF she has to go past the fish department, what if the fish man threw a fish head at her?  Come on, like that would really happen?  Depends on who you ask.  Giggle.

Oh, this one is classic - again the supermarket.  At checkout the cashier told her he would check her out - in the 10 items or less line, there wasn't anyone in the store  so she felt comfortable doing that.  Of course, you know what happened - yup, a man comes up behind her while she is putting things on the belt.  She really was embarrassed and asked the man to please go in front of her but he said he wasn't in any rush and not to worry about it.  Here we go AGAIN, the giggle and then insisting that he squeeze past her, as he was she noticed he had a box of fried chicken and something else, she had to add, "if you didn't go ahead of me I would have taken that chicken", giggle #2, and right on cue he added "come get in my truck and ride to TN with me and I'll share".  Holy moley, and she did the worst thing, she giggled and shook her head no.  That poor guy, you could see that he was painfully holding back laughing out loud,  her face felt very warm and we assume she was blushing, he then began talking and telling her he lived in Asheville for over 20 years and he just moved back to TN.  The look on the cashier's face - priceless.

So, this is what we live with, it's normal, her normal that is,  and as we always say "she's Mom, gotta love her".
