Netherville Deli

1.
Jeff and I ended up at a strange deli yesterday.
Andrea: “Can we get a sub?”
Deli lady: “It’s gonna be a while.”

2.
It felt like the waiting room to get in to purgatory.
Andrea: “Has anyone moved an inch since we got here?”
Jeff: “Besides following us with their eyes?”

3.
We left.
Andrea: “Do you think they’d all still be waiting if we came back?”
Jeff: “We are never going back there.”

Velveeta Memories

1.
My mother used to make us a dish of spaghetti with velveeta and tomato sauce.
Andrea: “Hey look, I’ve got all the ingredients”

2.
But it has bad associations of throwing up tied to it.
Andrea: “Maybe I’m ready to try it again.”

3.
No.
Andrea: “No.”

Adventurefuls cookies: mixed reviews

1
New Girl Scout cookie dropped.
“Adventurefuls! An adventureful bite of adventure!”
(exclamation point included)

2
It got mixed reviews.
Jetta: “It’s good”
Ruby: “It is baked with lies!”

3
I couldn’t say because someone ate my sample
Jeff: “I thought you left it for me”
Andrea: “I have failed as a cookie mom”

Headache Detective

1
When I get a headache, I run through all the known possible causes.
Andrea: “I slept fine, but was I drinking enough water? What did I eat? Where did I go?”

2

Like some day I’m going to crack the code.
Andrea: “I’ve got it! Sunny day + driving + pickles = headache!”

3

I guess there are worse hobbies.

Andrea: “Back to the drawing board”

Ice Skates Outgrown

1
I finally found the skates yesterday.
Andrea: “Tada”
Ruby: “It’s tiny!”

2
But the girls had the gall to grow out of them. (again!)
Andrea: “OK, you wear Jetta’s, and she can wear mine.”
Ruby: “Then you get these. Haha”

3
Good thing the rink is fun without them.
Andrea: “Let’s play the stick game.”
Ruby: “OK, then push me around again.”
