different little stories

The pic has no significance.  Just a little piccy that makes me happy.

A lot of funny little stories have been happening around here lately that I thought I would share.

Story 1

I was at the grocery yesterday, in a huge hurry, and this little old lady comes up to me in her little motorized cart and this was our conversation:

Lady - "Have you seen the damn asparagus?"

Me - "I needed it too and couldn't find it."

Lady - "You tellin' me there no damn asparagus?"

Me - "I couldn't find any."

Lady - "You have got to be kidding me.  I planned my whole menu around the damn asparagus."

*drives away angrily*

Apparently, she really needed the damn asparagus.

Hope she found some.

Story 2

I had always planned to get Ellie and American Girl doll.  Elizabeth to be exact, cause how cool is that?  I had planned to do this in like, 3 years, when she was old enough to really want one.

Well guess who is being retired after this Christmas.

Uh-huh.

Elizabeth.

So mama had a decision to make.  And I bought her!  She will be arriving any day and I somehow have to put her away for 3 years. 

This is going to be really hard for me.

And for the record, Chris just doesn't get it at all.

"It is a $100 doll"

"It's dresses cost more than my clothes"

"It is a $100 doll!"

"There's a whole store?"

"You have got to be kidding me"

Suck it up buttercup.  Welcome to the AG world!

Story 3

Ok, this one is really embarrasing.  But I love my blog readers, so I trust you to still think I am a functioning human being after you read this...

We have a bathroom that connects to our bedroom and the hallway.  The other night, Ellie went into our bedroom, from the bathroom and shut the door.  I was still in the bathroom and went to go into the bedroom and the door was locked.  Now, I wasn't trapped in, as the other door was open, but as I looked down to unlock the door, there was no unlockie thingie.

I was confused.

Shouldn't the lock be in the bathroom?

So I get tweezers and am trying to unlock the door from the bathroom side.

Muttering under my breath the whole time.

Ellie comes up to me, asks what I am doing and I explain the prediciment.

She leaves the bathroom, walks around to our bedroom and

unlocks it from the other side.

She opens it and goes (and I am not kidding)

"DUH MOM."

OH. MY. GOD.  I am losing it.

Total moment of stupidity.

I swear I function normally most of the time.

So there you have it, just some funny things that have been happening around here lately.  Happy Tuesday!
