Saint George, UT

This was inspired by Gary Woltal's post regarding Wordless Wednesday - We All Embarrass Ourselves From Time To Time ~ Thanks Gary!

I was having a hectic day when I hurriedly answered the phone and intended to say,

"Can I put you on hold?" instead I said "Can I hold you?"

There was a moment of silence and before I could correct myself, the man answered "Well, my wife probably wouldn't like that."

I said, "My husband wouldn't like it either!"

And we both just started laughing! Years ago, I would have been extremely embarrassed by such a blurt but now it feels better to just laugh and take it in stride!

Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. She yells down the stairs, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"

The 94-year-old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses. Then she yells out, "Was I going up the stairs or down?"

The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea and listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful." She knocks on wood for good measure. She then replies, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

Hay is for horses,

straw is for cows.

Milk is for little pigs

And wash for old sows.

Do you remember saying this when you someone yelled "Hey!" at you?

I was just reminiscing...
