The Big Dress

What's with the maternity dress?  I put on a few pounds when I was sick.

*

Normally someone doesn't gain weight when they're sick.  Well, i threw myself a pity party when I was feeling bad.

*

How did a pity party cause you to gain weight?  I had it catered.

*

I blame my mom for this. I mentioned to her that I could really go for a brownie or a piece of cake but I didn’t think I could open my mouth far enough to bite one. “Oh,” she said, “cakes and brownies smoosh up really easily. Smash, smash, smash and they are ready to eat!” Turns out she was right. Dip them in coffee, and they go down even easier. Sigh. When will I stop listening to my mom?

Huh? Did you say something?

I stopped listening to you a long time ago.

    Ha! Toby! You crack me up! 😀 I’m sure Cooper tunes me out…he has male selective hearing and unless he hears words he likes like “snack”, “dinner”, “out”, “ball”, “walk”, ETC., he doesn’t care what I’m gabbing on about! 😉 😀 😛

    Oh, your mom is genius! I never thought of smashing, smooshing, smushing up desserts for easier eating! I’ll remember this for future get-well-trying-to-feel-better times. 😉 How about smooshing them into vanilla ice cream?!?! That would make them even better or even worse…depends on one’s perspective! 😉 HA! 😀

    Your title made me laugh. Then I thought about a comedian years ago who said his family were big pants people. Part of his routine was…
    “My brother would be screaming, “Mom, Kevin’s in the bedroom doin’ Hail Marys in his underwear!”
    Mom yells, “You put some PANTS on when you’re doin’ Hail Marys! And not those tight pants, you put your big pants on! Goin’ around with tight pants on, that’s not right! You get upstairs right now and put the big pants on! We’re big pants people!” 😀 😛
