Oh, I should not tell this story on myself, but we're amongst friends--right? When I was a small child, a bill collector, working for an insurance company, came knocking on our front door. Mama didn't want to tell him AGAiN that she did not have the payment, so she had us children hide. The man knocked louder and louder. Finally, I called out, "nobody here but us chickens!"

ReplyDeleteOoh my stomach hurts from all that laughing! Your story was too cute! And the police story of marco and polo too!

How nice to visit you, Sally! I can always be sure of a good laugh. I like the ad trying to sell the 'oldies'. I have been so tied up recently with work and my daughter who is happily pregnant but unhappily suffering from morning sickness 24/7. I have not been able to get to much blogging. It is so good to make the rounds again...
ReplyDeleteThe one about Wal-Mart is CLASSIC!:)
ReplyDeleteAlways love these. Your story is so funny, though I am sure it wasn't at the time!
ReplyDeleteSally, you naughty girl, you! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLoved these...
XO,

Your poor mama! I am sure she didn't think it was funny then, but later I am sure she got a great chuckle as she thought about what you said.
