Irving's mom: You're rushing off so soon?? Irving: We've been here since Monday, mom. Irving's mom: When can you commit some real time to us?? Irving: We both took the whole week off work! Irving's mom: It wasn't a real visit! You owe us a nice, long real visit so we can all catch up! Cathy: This didn't count??? Irving's mom: See? Your bride is bursting with questions about us!
I’m sure as far as Cathy’s concerned, this visit was 5 days too long for her . . . starting from the moment Irving’s mother opened the front door and the first words out of her smiling face weren’t “Welcome to our home, Cathy!” but were: “She came empty-handed!!” with a disapproving scowl instead. The only place it could possibly go from there was downhill — which is exactly what it did.
If I were Cathy, I’d be thinking: “AACK!!!!! Thank God these horrible people live so damn far away from us that it requires a plane ride in order to see them so maybe we can get away with visiting them (or them visiting us) just ONCE a year . . . IF we’re lucky!” :-P
Hi, rgcviper! :-)
summerdog: Good question! I hadn’t thought of that. I’d like to know the answer to that one too (LOL)!!! ;-)
lightenup: It’s hard to shop, either online or in-store, when you don’t have a clue what to buy someone. Yep! It just wouldn’t be Christmas around my house unless I had absolutely no idea whatsoever when it comes to my mother and husband. Unfor-tunately, that’s become a pretty pitiful “tradition” with me the last few years! :-(
Hello and Happy Saturday, fellow Cathy fans. Sure is quiet here tonight. I guess everyone’s either still recovering from Thursday’s Thanksgiving feast . . . or from yesterday’s Black Friday shopping spree! ;-)
