OK - one last story!! 

Many years ago, I went to Las Vegas for work.  It was my very first time ever going there and I was so excited.

As we went seeing to the different hotels, I picked up some hand creams. matches and ashtray or two for souvenirs!! 

Later that night, I was playing BlackJack with a bunch of guys!  Some how, a hot ash must have fallen in my purse, we started to smell the smoke, then we saw smoke coming from my purse!  The next thing ...the whole thing went up in flames right in the casino.  I quickly dumped out my purse..........and the ashtrays, creams and matches from the various hotels spilled out all around!!  The smell of burnt plastic was in the that air.   

All the Pit Bosses came a running!!   

The guys at my table teased me all night!!  I won over a $1000.00 that night and only started with $150.00!!   

Then I bought some real souvenirs!!   

Why am I NOT surprised that in a 3 alarm fire, all anyone need do is look for you???

That's what I was thinking too! 

[crazybabyborg]

My bet is that you rent a room to it!!

[KCJackie]

MT - between your sister and you who got in the most trouble?

I worked with a gay guy for years and we became really good friends. I kept hearing about the parties at the gay bar, and wanted to go dancing, so he took me on a Halloween.

I was determined to act like there wasn't anything unusual about me being there, and I was having a blast! I'd had a good bit to drink, when this guy started hanging around and becoming a bit of a nuisance to us both. So in my best "I know all the slang" voice, I referred to him as a goblin.................................

instead of a troll!!!   

I'm STILL living that one down!!!!

haha a goblin! you could start a whole new slang vocab cbb::MonkeyWink::

This is just so cute I had to share!

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before.  After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!'

#####

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.'  He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?'

#####

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair.  As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.  Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings.  As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'

#####

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond.  I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard.  We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.'

The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in.  At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'

#####

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' 

 I mentally polished my halo while I asked, 'No, how are we alike?'

'You're both old,' he replied.

#####

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word  processor.  She told him she was writing a story.  'What's it about?' he asked.   

'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.'

#####

I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her.  I would point out something and ask what color it was.  She would tell me and was always correct.  It was fun for me, so I continued.  At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'

#####

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.  Still, a few fireflies followed us in.  Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.'

#####

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, 'I'm not sure.' 

'Look in your underwear, Grandpa,' he advised. 'mine says I'm four to six..'

#####

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what?  We learned how to make babies today.' 

The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies?' 

'It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'..'

#####

Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' 

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked.   

'Sure,' said the young boy confidently 'it means carrying a child.'

#####

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past.  Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said another, 'he's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs', she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants...

 

'What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.'   Pericles

Very cute!!  Thanks Kimmy!!!

My friend's husband died.  His wishes were to be cremated!  My friend gently tried to explain what that was to her kids!  A few hours later, the youngest (6) came running in and yelled 'Mom, is Dad barbecued yet!!  True Story!!

[Dolce]

Good morning Always.  I stayed up all last night making those pesky model dollies for bridezilla. 
The perrywinkle you noted was the much better option.

I can not wait to smack her tomorrow when she picks the lightest blue.   

I will tell her that I consulted a very wise fashionista who agrees that the perriwinkle shows much better against the chocolate.
