Tuesday's Bargain or Bust?

For at least a week now my Mom has been talking up a shopping spot she just had to hit up this Tuesday. She was beyond excited that Pawn America sells DVD's two for $5.00 on Tuesdays. She had been seeing the commercials for weeks and could think of endless gifts she could create out of this amazing deal. She found a local friend (I think for safety) and made the big trip. This is our conversation today following her return from Pawn America...

Mom: "Well that was kind of a bust"

Me: "You didn't find any DVD's?"

Mom: "Not really", sounding pretty bummed out about it.

Me: "Sorry to hear that I know you were pretty excited about this trip"

Mom: "Ya, well I did get two DVD's, did you ever see the one with Tom Hanks stuck in the airport?"

Me: "Yes"

When I answered yes she became even more upset even making me relay to her what the plot was to prove I had actually seen it.

Mom: With her last dose of disgust and disappointment she finally shares what was the worst part about shopping for the DVD's as she explained "I was mad because the DVD's were used"

Me: "Well you were at a PAWN shop"

Also known as Jasmine

To no surprise to any of you I love the show "The Sing-Off". As I was watching tonight my Mom called and the following conversation occurred...

Mom: "Are you watching that show you like?"

Me: "Of course"

Mom: "Do you think that lady judge is pretty?"

Me: "Yes, very pretty"

Mom: "Me too, she looks just like that girl from...oh what's her name...you know...Mrs. Aladdin".

Me: "Glad to hear they did end up getting married"

Mom: Hangs up, has to hear what the judges think.

Spring Break

We have had the good fortune to book a family spring break this year. You can only imagine that though this trip is several months away I have already been cautioned of the many dangers we may incur at our family friendly time share in Florida. My favorite caution thus far...

Mom: "I don't really like the idea of you going there for spring break."

Me: Thinking my Mom is confused as to where we are going I ask,"Going where?"

Mom: "Florida, that is where all the drunks will be"

Me: "Well I am not too worried that we are going to be getting too caught up with all the spring break partying when we are bringing a two year old along. We will be hitting the beach at 9am and fast asleep by 9pm."

Mom: "That is my point exactly!"

Me: "Huh?"

Mom: "You will be taking Laney to the beach and all the drunks will be falling all over her! That is where they sleep you know!"

They are right, you learn something new every day.
