Cute!
This is the conversation that I had earlier today.
"Hi, Kristi? It's your boss, Greg. Yeah, I'm good. Listen, Randi (co-worker) went to the hospital. She's got pneumonia. Yeah, her Mom took her. By the way, can you work for her Saturday? Sorry, but I'm out doing services or I'd do it. Oh, you were cooking? Sorry. I need you at 8am! "

aarrgghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, so can you come Sunday? I don't know what time I'll get away Saturday. I want to do the apple candy and the figgy stuff this weekend. It freezes well, and I can afford to but it right now. I'm probably going to get you a check so you can buy the wine. Later!

>We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while

>made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 a.m. upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds.
>
>As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying.

>In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door.

>check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It
>stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat.

>I would like to take this opportunity to remind my young diners that

>adults: For the duration of the meal, and especially while in the presence

>name: Cheese Sauce. If a young diner questions you regarding the origins or type of Cheese Sauce, plead ignorance. Cheese Sauce stains.
>
>Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice; take it or leave it.
