Last Friday - Revised with Punchlines!

Friday morning Ozzy and I walked to Murray Park. We were met by Jamie and the boys at the Farmer’s Market.

It didn’t even occur to me that I would be put in charge of Alex, BY Alex. I knew I would help of course, but he does really well about sticking with you. I told him to hold my hand while Jamie got the stroller, the gear and Max out of the car. He made sure that I held his hand, well except to pick up and throw various round shaped fruits and veggies. He just can’t help it, it is a ball or looks like one!

We discussed how we miss the people from goat farm and their yummy flavored cheeses and the apple truck with the gala apples. Where are these people?! Don’t they know they got us hooked last year?!

We made our route, bought some tamales for lunch. Then we all piled in the mini-van. Ozzy thought it was Christmas! Much to Ozzy’s delight, Alex left a Hansel and Gretel trail of treats on the floor. Needless to say, if you need your car picked up of food, call on Ozzy. No raisins please as they are deadly to dogs.

Immediately when Alex comes in our house he goes for the toys. And Max went straight for boob. After his contentment of boobiness, he hung out on my lap. What a cute thing.

Sitting in the “game” room (the room contains a pool table, bar, big screen, big gun safe, and various taxidermy) with Jamie and the boys:
Jamie – (after a long study of them) do you have to dust those ducks?
Me – yea, but not lately
Jamie – how do you?
Me – just with a duster
Jamie – (after staring at the deer) are those elk?
Me - no, deer the elk are in the garage
Jamie – do you have to dust their nostrils? And how do you dust them?
Me – chuckling, hum, I guess I should but I just dust them regular and I have to get their antlers since the spiders like to make webs.
Jamie – (I can’t remember exactly what else but I am sure it was something to the effect of I don’t know how you do it).

I read Jamie's comment and realized OH CRAP! That was the true punchline! Yes, everyone Jamie asked - Is that a chicken?
Me - no, (laughing)it is a pheasant.
Jamie - it looks like a chicken

Then I gave Alex a nickle.
Me - Do you know what is it Alex?
Alex - A nipple!
Me - (laughing again)no, it is a nickle
Alex - A NIPPLE!!!!!

I'm surprised you didn't mention me saying "is that a chicken?" and pointing to the pheasant on the wall. I'm such a dork.

Oh and Alex's "nipple"
