The other day I was trying to phone a company that sells supplements, to see if I’m giving Josiah the right dose of his iron supplement. Part of the conversation went roughly like this:
Nice guy: hello, mumble, mumble, mumble
Me: May I speak with Lida, please?
Nice guy: Lida who?
Me: I don’t know, I was just told to ask for Lida.
Nice guy: Give me your name and number and I’ll check for you.
Me: Jenni, etc, etc,
Nice guy: And what was your question?
Me: I’m giving my baby the Floradix iron supplement and want to be sure I’m giving him the right dose.
Nice guy: This is General Motors
So, if anyone wants to phone General Motors, I have the number! (And I did get the correct number for the supplement company.)

We were going for a little drive after church and drove through the cemetery. Here’s a rough reconstuction of the ensuing conversation.
Logan: What are we doing here?
Keith: I just wanted to see the place where Grandma is buried.
Logan: Married?
Keith: Yes, buried.
Logan: People get married here?
Keith: Yes, buried.
Logan: That’s a stinker place to get married!
At this point I intervened and translated for Keith and the whole misunderstanding was cleared up. And we laughed and laughed!!!

Hello, Bim's Jakery! What? I don't remember what you're talking about. I can only hope that Glenda is reading this and that it will make her pea tink.
Very funny! I remember taking a call at the bakery from someone wanting to buy a lawnmower. (the number was just one digit different than the hardware store)
see you tomorrow!
Yeah, I'm reading this! I have tink pee all the time....what are you talking about! =) I'd totally forgotten about that, until you so graciously reminded me. =)
uncle asked me once when we drove by a huge cemetary with stones as far as you could see, "how many people do you think are dead in there?" hmmmmmmmmm I stared out there, scanning, calculating. . . ... "maybe 400". Uncle laughed. Then he said "I think ALL of them are dead" hahah I rolled my eyes.
By the way, great story! i laughed out loud for real. keep them coming
