Where's the Antibiotic Cream and Other Funnies, a Random and Happy Tuesday Post

***********************************

It's time once again for a random and happy Tuesday, linking up with Stacy's Random Thoughts at Stacy Uncorked and Sandee at Comedy Plus.  

Arriving at work yesterday, i found Carl snoozing on the recliner in the living room.  When he heard me, he woke up and i told him it was time to get up and ready for work, then went to get the sheets from his bed.

Coming back toward the laundry room, noted he was still in the recliner, looking at his tablet.  "I need to find yoghurt packs!" he said, scrolling through some site that had various brands depicted.

When i asked if he was going to the store to get some before work, he said no, he needed to go for a jog instead.  He showered, dressed, got his breakfast ready, ate some of it, then went out the door to jog.  Within five minutes he was back in the kitchen eating.  His explanation?  "I only needed a short jog!"

Later, he packed his snack in the cooler, and i took a peek.  A sleeve of saltine crackers, a small container of hummus, some broccoli, a take-out type packet of grape jelly, a bottle of water, his frozen smoothie, and two packets of ketchup.  Upon being asked what the ketchup was for, he said, "Because ketchup!" and licked his lips.  Like my kids did when they were very young, he probably just eats it right out of the packet.

To encourage him to keep his change in the coin sorting machine, his mother has told him that i am allowed to keep any change i find on the counters, on the floor, or in his laundry.  As he picked up his hat, wallet, keys, etc., he left his change on the counter and i reminded him that i would keep it if he didn't pick it up.  Then i left to tend the laundry and came back.  He'd picked up everything but the four pennies.  Guess he was leaving me a tip.

The best part of the morning was finding the antibiotic cream he was looking for -- in the refrigerator.

Okay, how about some of the great stuff Grandma forwards to me.

Have a blessed and beautiful Tuesday, everyone!
