Once upon a time, somewhere in the 1970's we watched the show "Sesame Street." Who didn't back then? There weren't many other options. They did a little cartoon on there where a young African American boy is going to run an errand for his mother. He needs to remember three things. A load of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter. He says these things over and over on his way and does remember to get all of them.
Fast forward to somewhere in the 1990's. My sister and I are at Mom's working on something and I am trying to remember a list of things. I repeat it over and over and Kate says, "Hey, that's just like Sesame Street! You know, a potato of milk?"
Now I had no idea what she was talking about, and that happens a lot. My sister is..... how to put this nicely..... kinda nerdy, and also because of the brain surgeries she sometimes uses words incorrectly. Which usually results in hilarity at her expense. Luckily she's a good sport, or is just to kind to kill me. The following, however, happened before most of said surgeries.
Me: What are you talking about? (Even Mom stopped to listen.)
Kate: You know! A loaf of bread, a potato of milk, and a stick of butter. The little boy going to the store on Sesame Street?
Me: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kate: What??
Me: Try CONTAINER of milk.....
Kate: Huh?
Me: It's CONTAINER of milk! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Even Mom was laughing)
Kate: Nice Joanie, make fun of the little girl who can't hear out of one ear.
Me: Ok, I'm not going to buy that one. What exactly did you think a potato of milk was???
Kate: I don't know. I thought it was an African American thing.
Me: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kate: Oh shut up.
Me: Stop blaming your hearing disability....... it's the other one...... (her not so bright disability)
Kate: *chuckling SHUT UP.
Of course I couldn't. I have retold that story many times, and I laugh my head off when I do. I am laughing now as I write it, thinking about how she's just going to love that I blogged it. :) *waving* Hi Kate!
Just wait until I blog about her texting abilities! You never know what you're going to get because she doesn't check the auto correct. :) Great fodder for an older sister to use as torment!
So today I am thankful for my sister. We are almost polar opposites, but have a great amount of love and respect for each other. Happy Thanksgiving Kate...............did you make potato of milk after you took the pirate? I don't want a phone, I want the gold that's in the oven. ♥
