PARENT STORY
I think most of us have funny parent stories to tell. Here’s one from my parents -
My father came home from work every evening with a pocketful of pistachio nuts in his suit jacket. One evening, he draped his jacket over a kitchen chair and went to bed.
When he got up in the morning, there was a hole in the jacket, and just below the pocket there were a lot of pistachio shells strewn around.
A Mouse!! So my parents (not sure which one did the deed) diligently set a mousetrap that night and caught a furry little critter.
As it turns out, they repeated the “set a mouse trap” scenario 17 times and caught 17 mice.
They insisted that they lived in a very nice neighborhood that was not, they thought, vermin infested. (I think little mice are just about everywhere)
I’m just so glad I wasn’t living at home at that time. The whole scene would have upset me a lot (they’re so cute!!).
Anyone else have any unusual parent stories to share? If you post, I will read. And laugh or cry, whichever seems most appropriate.
Buzz, don’t pay any attention to this request.
