laughter

i have been reading a book of humorous quotes my mom has recorded over the years from when we were little, and i haven't laughed this much in a long time!

Mothers Day!

in honor of mothers day, we always have the grandparents over. the conversation was hilarious. first they talked about flies. our screen door has a hole, and theyve been coming in, and it drives my mom crazy. i was in a different room, so i didnt hear the beginning, but here is the rest of it. this is my grandma pollard- these flies are getting smarter! those are not the same flies we had when i was growing up. ???
we also had one of those "when i was young..." they were talking about how they didnt have any of these electronics, and how they played outside. they made a list of their favorite games: marbles, trading cards (like actual playing cards), jacks, and hopscotch. then my grandmother leans over to me and says- have you heard of hopscotch? i laughed and said yes. she said, well you never know, it was a long time ago! i may have more electronic things available to me today, but as a kid, i still spent a lot of time oustide with my siblings. the only real electronic system we had was nintendo 64, and i dont think mario cart had a corrupting influence on my innocent little life. :D
