Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for November 09, 2020

Run. Run far. Run fast.

To late you’ve already asked.

Yep. Go do something that involves being away for at least 3 hours.

Is it someone at the office? Someone in traffic? Someone at the store? No? Then I don’t really want to know.

Now representing the guy who wants to remove a wasp nest from the eave by hitting it with a stick;

the man who insists on asking “is it something I did?”;

suggests putting up his mother-in-law at a local motel for the next visit;

does not know the wedding anniversary or her birthday dates.

She wants to know why you don’t have leaf-guard gutters.

She is sitting on the dog.

And before you get started; how long ago was it?

Offer her a cup of tea or glass around, that gives you the excuse to back away and pretend this moment never happened…..

My wife, a retired RN, notes that one of the first things they teach at nursing school is never to ask a question if you’re not ready to take the answer. Hence “It’s time to take your pill,” not “Are you ready for your pill?”

“What’s wrong?”“Nothing!”“Excellent! See you later!”
