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

You'd better take your wife, Gershon! If you don't, don't come crying to us when she has beaten you severely and you're bruised and bleeding! :)

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

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

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

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

If a frog had wings he wouldnt bump his a** everytime he jumped. Take her out and feed her. It's one day a year. LOL

If I had wings, I'd still bump my rear end trying to jump: ~ This White Man Can't Jump. Cheers, gw

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

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.

'If' I say that, that long line at the restaurant will look a lot shorter to my wife!! lol. HMD, Belle!
