Legible Grocery List

 Someone broke into our house and wrote legibly on our grocery list. I can’t imagine who would do that. I have no doubt what onion flakes is. We don’t need them, but boy, that is well-written.

For 4/20 Day

 Austin and I match underwear. It’s a new thing we do. Or not so new. Anyway, Austin was asking which pair of underwear we should wear today.

Me, a bad joke coming to mind: We should do bees.

I smirk to myself.

Me: Do you get it?

We really do have bee underwear:

Resurrection

 My sister invited my husband & I to church for Easter this year. Teeth-cringing, telling her no.

Austin: It was nice of her to invite us. But we celebrate zombies on Halloween.

Me: I’m pretty sure that’s not in line with the resurrection she’s talking about.

In the Shoe

 Austin wanted to go walking, so I rushed to get dressed, but as I made my way to the kitchen, a little pebble made itself known. There was no way I was going to be able to take a walk with a pebble poking my foot.

Me: just a minute, I have something in my shoe.

Austin: yeah, a foot. Either the left one or the right one.

PB Pie

When COVID hit and we couldn’t go out for my sister’s birthday, I asked her if she’d like me to bake her a cake. My cakes are awesome. No, she wanted a peanut butter pie. So now it’s a tradition. Every year for her birthday, I make her a peanut butter pie. And it’s amazing, though it will cause a heart attack due to the calories.

This year I’m working and still dealing with my mother’s estate.

Me: It’s going to be tough, having time to get the pie done, and your tiramisu and ice cream for Easter.
Austin: You can skip your sister’s pie.
Me: I ca not.
Austin: Sure you can.
Me: You tell her. I dare you.
Austin: Or you can get her a Reese’s peanut butter cup. It’s a pie. Miniature.

But & Pis

 So I made butter ice cream and pistachio ice cream and put them in two separate containers. To simplify life, I put But and Pis on the containers, so we would know which was which.

Do I really need to explain how this came back to bite me when Austin opened the freezer?
