I hang out with a woman almost daily who is 70 years old. For two more months, I am half her age, but I just love this woman to distraction. So much so that I call her mom, even though there is no relation at all, and she calls me her adopted daughter.
We tease each other, the Duke and her tease each other even more. It's what we do.
So tonight she was joking around, and then swore. I pretended to be thoroughly shocked. The Duke was in the other room, so I called out to him. "Sweetie. Mom said a bad word!"
He called out back. "What did she say?"
I answered back. "I'm not allowed to say!"
And then all you could hear from the other room was a low, deep chuckle that lasted several long seconds. Nothing else. LOL
Yeah, NO WAY was I falling for that trap! lol I doubt that was what he meant it to be, but it still would have been my butt on the line had I answered! :)

Please feel free to leave any comments, but I do ask you to be kind. We go into this with eyes wide open after months of prayer, and a peace in our hearts that this is the right choice before God for our marriage. I am open to questions from those who wonder why we made this choice, but I would ask for no personal attacks. Thank you. :)

Hehe, glad that you enjoyed. :) {{{hugs}}} And I'll gladly take the compliment. ;)
DeleteHi EsMay, how wise of you to refrain from saying it. You have definitely got the hang of this life, made me giggle
ReplyDeletelove Jan.xx
hehee, Jan, I wouldn't say the hang of it, but thankfully I caught myself in that moment. LOL
DeleteLoL EsMay, this made me smile. She sounds like a hoot :) Very wise on your part! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Roz
Oh Roz, she makes me laugh so much. :) I just love her. :) {{{hugs}}}
DeleteYou're smart and I think your friend sounds lovely too. When a lady in our church turned 90 she told a group of us she'd decided to try something new and she was taking up cussing. When I saw her again several months later I told her "You said you were taking up cussing, but I haven't heard any." To which she answered, "I feel like hell."
ReplyDeleteHehehe, PK, and she sounds sassy to boot! :) Very cute. I love little old ladies, and little old men even more, they're just so cheeky. lol
DeleteCute story....made me giggle too.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
LOL I'm glad, abby. :) {{{hugs}}}
DeleteHa Es May! You have a lot of self control.
ReplyDeleteLOL, just a rare moment of sanity. I promise to not allow that to happen too often. ;) Wouldn't want you guys to grow bored and me have nothing to post. ;)
DeleteLOL I loved this post! So cute. SM tries to trick me like that too... sometimes
ReplyDeleteI let him :)
love
sara
Sara, Sara, Sara, tsk tsk, lol. Hmm, I might have to rethink my strategy then, there could be some fun in the catching. :)
DeleteCute post. I'd be in trouble all the time, I relate to Mom very well, in age and speech.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA, Leigh, that's awesome, so very awesome! Well let's be glad you don't get in trouble for that then. ;)
DeleteAnd here I would have just gone ahead and said it. You have WAY more self-control (and self preservation) than I do!! LOLOL
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'll go with the self preservation, not sure how much self control actually played in it over preservation. LOL In all honesty, I was just being cheeky. lol
DeleteYep, you are a smart one! I think I probably would've mistaken the question for consent and said the word, silly me. Did "Mom" ask why you couldn't say it?
ReplyDeleteLOL You know, River, I almost did take it for consent. LOL And nope, she just laughed because we're always pretending to be innocent at everything to each other. ;) So to her, it would have just been another way I was playing at that. ;)
DeleteAwesome! When I'm 70, I'm going to cuss like a sailor. Oh wait, I already do.
ReplyDeleteLeah, LOL, you do, eh? Then, what are you going to do at 70 to be scandalous? I'd love to hear your ideas. ;)
DeleteI am so glad you have a friend/second mother like this in your life-she sounds lovely! Glad you didn't incriminate yourself either!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Scarlet
Oh, she has been such a wonderful blessing to me. :) I am so thankful for her.
