sit-down

dad and his mistahs scheduling a get-together at this restaurant...

me:  'why don't you go instead to <buffet1> or <buffet2>?  you'll have more food choices...'

dad:  'you know, we don't like standing up...  we prefer to have our food served at the table...'

oh...  old soldiers never die, they just prefer to sit down...  ; )

on the phone this morning...

me:  'what time will you bathe the baby?'

housemate:  '8...'

me:  'ok...  i'll pick her up 9...'

housemate:  'up to you...'

me:  'she's taking a bath 8...  what time will she finish?  i'll pick her up after her bath...'

housemate:  'oh...  it only takes 10 minutes to bathe her...'

me:  'that quick?!'

mom:  'the ring fits your finger...'

me:  'yeah...  but where will i wear that?'

mom:  'you can wear this to a party...'

me:  'let's throw a lavish party...'
