How my 82-year-old mom made me laugh so hard I swallowed a nectarine pit.

So I'm having a fresh nectarine after dinner, and St. John comes into the kitchen, having just woken from a nap. He sits down very properly beside the refrigerator, looks around, yawns, blinks... blinks again... and falls right back to sleep.

My mom and I laugh at him and say for the dozenth time today what a sweetheart he is. "Yes," I assure her, "he really is a special little guy, and he's starting to mellow out now that he's a grownup."

And my mom says, "That's true, he's more affectionate than ever, and so gentle and quiet. And he's so good in bed, too."



Well, down goes the nectarine pit. Coughing, I raise my eyebrows at Mom, and she starts backpedaling frantically: "I mean he's so good! He never wakes me up!"

My eyebrows go up another notch. "Oh? Tell me more!"

"No! No, I mean -- oh hell," she says, giving in to laughter. "I'm never gonna live that down, am I?"

And the answer is noooo! No, Mom, we'll be tellin' that one on ya for years...

I haveto tell you that cracked me up because it reminded me of the strange things that have come out of my 81-year-old mom's mouth!!! A few years ago (when she was in her 70s) we were watching The Today Show and they had Howdy Doody on with Buffalo Bob, and for those of you who don't know, look him up, bcause I want to keep this as short as I can...
Anyway, the host mentioned how old Howdy Doody was and my mother sighed and said, "Oh, wow! He looks so good!"
Me and my sisters were on the floor laughing.

I think it'll be many years before your mom is allowed to forget that one!!

Poor mom, she knew she blew it.

since he's a marrionette, maybe his wood would have cracked or his strings stretched over the years? Too funny.

Oh! You're right, Howdy Doody was the MARRIONETTE!
And here I was thinking MenasMom's mother had the hots for Buffalo Bob!
