Hi everyone! I hope today finds you well. Craig and I were talking the other night and for some reason I started telling him about something really dumb (and really funny) I did many years ago (this is just one of the really dumb things I have done, believe me there are many more). Let me just start by saying that I was kinda innocent on this one.
It all began when we went over to my aunt's house to visit with some of her friends, Ava and Greenly, from Mississippi. They had a daughter about my age so I was looking forward to spending time with them. We all were piled in the den watching some kind of nature show when my aunt's friend Ava kept reading everything that came across the T.V. screen. I first thought, OK, she is one of those who likes to read aloud, good for her. This kept going on for what seemed like forever. Words would come across the screen and like clockwork Ava would read them. I started getting a little irritated but tried to just let it go. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore!! The next time she read something I proceeded to say, in a half-joking way, things like, "OK, we've got it!" "We're good without you reading it to us, thanks." "We can read." Before I knew it I was called to come in the kitchen by my aunt and mom. I knew something was up and I was probably about to get into trouble. I went in and my aunt said "Laney, Greenly can't read. That's why she was reading everything aloud." Oh man, talk about feeling like a dog. I didn't know why someone (anyone) couldn't have taken just a minute to tell me about Greenly's reading struggles. I would have never said anything about little Ms. Reader doing her thing.
Alright, there's my "you really did it this time" story for the day. Happy Monday sweet friends!!!!
