One liners

This post brought to you by the quick wit of my amazing mind.

Mum and dad's car is a danger to all those who enter. It auto locks when you start driving. As in, the doors automatically lock. It's a frikin' pain. Every day Dad says, "Can you unlock the door?" Today was no different but I had just unlocked it as he said it. So I say, "You've got to get a handle on things. It's open."

Dad laughs and says I'm quick. I said I sure am. Just ask Candy. Now, normally dad can't hear a thing but he heard that thing and chuckled.

Mum is dressed up wearing red shoes. I say I think you forgot to get changed from your slippers. She says these are her good shoes

Mum is wearing the same shirt she wore yesterday. I said, "Don't you have any other shirts?" She said it's not dirty so why change it?

At the cafe, dad ordered my croissant and coffee. I asked if he got it toasted so he quickly returned to check. When he came back to the table, he said it's nice that the cook remembered his face. I said, "So she should, you were only just there I second ago." He said, No, from the last time he was there with Ian and Denise.

Apparently it's church day for those who aren't catholic. The other religions get a crack. Mum and Dad looked in on it early after they arrived as part of their induction. Mum said were offered lamingtons but not lollies, which were also on the table. I said that was for the little boys in the back room. Dad huffed and said I was going to get them kicked out.

Bordering the entrance to the cafe are two pine trees in pots. They both looked the same but I'm sure they were just resting their eyes.

While waiting to leave after eating, some church goers begin leaving. A ward is pushing a guy in a large single lounch chair on wheels. He's talking on the phone. He says, "I can't now. I've got Merve. I'm bringing him back from the church." Merve looked out of it but he was chewing so slowly and meticulously. It reminded me of watching a cow. We don't want to get old!

But, in more uplifting news. Merry Christmas from the Marian Grove cafe!

After the cafe we go to Aldi and park out the front. After our lap we're leaving and I walk ahead and enter the lift and hit the button. Mum's already in the lift and a big lady huffs and struggles to push her trolley into the lift. Dad trails behind but slips his hands into the doors to keep it open. Dad says to the woman, "That's why you're in the middle." I don't know what he's talking about but quickly add it's because of the trolley!

Aldi look to have another hit on their hands (if their goal is to choke dogs that are barking too much)

Next stop is the library. Mum runs into an old friend. Dad goes to the loo. Mum asks where is Dad, to I assume the lady, as I was already sitting down, but watching. The lady says he's gone down to the children's section lol.

I happen to be sitting next to a carousel of romance paperbacks. Lucky me.

One Night In His Bed

Hired by Her Husband

I don't know how long we're going to be in there so I skip to the best parts.

Hmm, maybe the Mills and Boon contract says authors have to make sure page 169 has to include the good stuff ;-)
