Day: January 29, 2015

* Watching a particularly romantic ending to a Disney animated video, my five-year-old sighed. “I hope I meet my prince someday,” she said wistfully  . “Of course you will,” I reassured her. “You know, I met my prince the day I met your daddy.” Puzzled she turned to me and said,  “Who was he?”

@ One of the display freezers in our store broke and we quickly removed all the product from the shelves and moved it to the back room freezer. A customer came in and started reading the sign on the display case out loud. “Low Cholesterol, Low Sodium, Reduced fat Ice cream.” Only then did he notice there was nothing in the case. He muttered, “I knew it was too good to be true,” and stomped off.

@ As a college professor, my husband has published several books. When he finished his latest book, I stopped at the supermarket to get some treats and bought some ice cream and champagne. As the clerk bagged my purchases she asked, “Celebrating something?”   “Yes,” I replied, “My husband just finished a book.”  The young lady thought for a moment and asked, “Is he a slow reader?”
