Funny Things I Don't Want to Forget

My mom was not a funny person, one rarely saw her really laugh or be goofy like the rest of us did. She did have some funny one-liners though, and I don't want to forget them.

One day we were out driving around Janesville, Joe was driving. I don't know what we were looking for or at, but as we approached an intersection that was a T with a light, Joe said, "What do I do at the corner?" (meaning which way to turn) and Mom replied, "Stop if the light is red."

This past Thanksgiving she was going to Michele and Tim's. I asked her what she was taking. She said, "I am taking a green bean casserole, but I'm not making the one that everyone likes."

When Kathy was here for spring break last year, Kathy was eating a Twinkie...Mom said, "Well, no wonder you're so fat." Kathy has since lost over 40 pounds. Mom was a great motivational speaker.

...and then, there is always that one about the ice cream!!!

She never knew what Brett Favre's name was, she always called him Bart Favre.
