Stella, 6, and her mommy were talking.
Stella: "I'll bet you can't wait 'til I'm a teenager!"
Mommy: "Actually, I can."
Stella: "Why?"
Mommy: "Because I like you being sweet."
Stella: "I'll still be sweet when I'm a teenager. I'll just have an awkward way of showing it."
Although desperate to find work, I passed on a job I found on an employment website. It was for a wastewater plant operator.
Among the job requirements: "Must be able to swim."
I was in a couple’s home trying to fix their Internet connection. The husband called out to his wife in the other room for the computer password. “Start with a capital S, then 123,” she shouted back.
We tried S123 several times, but it didn’t work. So we called the wife in. As she input the password, she muttered, “I really don’t know what’s so difficult about typing Start123.”
One of the most popular questions asked at our family restaurant is, “What’s good tonight?”
Now, we would never serve anything we didn’t think was good. So I braced myself one Saturday night when I heard the dreaded question posed to my husband.
He calmly replied, “Anything over $17.95.”
