On Second Thought

The word 'If,' a genuine tower of power
    Just ask your better half this Sunday
  If I behave, If I'm a really, really, good boy

  Can we skip the long line at the restaurant
    on Mother's Day this year, please -- just this once

  ...On second thought, the word 'If,' like you, Bud
       ~ is truly a dunce

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 5/13/2023 11:05:00 AM If you like, you can use my reasoning: Life is short. Celebrate your holiday when it fits your schedule, not "theirs". If you must, you must. But if you cook, cook. If you don't, order take out. LOL Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/13/2023 8:17:00 PM You Da Boss, Linda! lol. Happy M. Day!

Suzanne Delaney Date: 5/13/2023 2:23:00 AM No, I don’t believe in ‘if’ anymore, ‘if’ is for children - building daydreams. Roger Williams song. This will only work if your wife doesn’t like long lines, too. Lol SuZ Login to Reply Suzanne Delaney Date: 5/14/2023 9:02:00 AM Mum said the tooth fairy uses your tooth for a front door step. LOL. Think of all the little enamel front doorsteps in Fairyland. SuZ Gershon Wolf Date: 5/13/2023 8:22:00 PM Sigh. Lost your belief in 'if,' eh?! Well about the tooth fairy?! And I'm sooooooo serious: Our teeth fall out again as we age. (Not speaking for myself, of course. lol). Too T DeKay

Lin Lane Date: 5/12/2023 7:00:00 PM There ya have it, GW. All the ladies say, "Throw something on the grill and you'll both be happy." Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 5/13/2023 10:03:00 PM Lol sure-why not? Gershon Wolf Date: 5/13/2023 8:25:00 PM Great idea, Lin. How's Chinese take-out taste on that old grill?! lol. HMD! ~ Gershon

Alexis Y. Date: 5/12/2023 6:07:00 PM Hi Gershon, I don't like to stand in long lines to go to a restaurant ( even on Mother’s Day). I would prefer a home-cooked meal. I wouldn't be cooking of course. I hang up my apron on that day. Hehe. I'm not going to comment on the word “ If”. I enjoyed the read. Have a great weekend;-) Alexis Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/13/2023 8:30:00 PM My wife hung up her apron. I tried it on. End of apron... HMD, Alexis! :)

Beryl Edmonds Date: 5/12/2023 4:53:00 PM How about if you say “ I’ll cook dinner so we skip the long line at the restaurant on Mother’s Day this year my dear. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/13/2023 8:33:00 PM 'If' I say that, that long line at the restaurant will look a lot shorter to my wife!! lol. HMD, Belle!
