Reminiscing

Last night the whole family met for dinner at Pulcinella's. We had a great time, and a great dinner, as always. We got started telling stories on each other, with each one being funnier than the previous. I was reminded of all the simple lessons and interesting facts I had forgotten over the years. They are as follows:

1. Don't store flower bouquets in a fish cooler.
2. Read the label before assuming a mysterious bottle of alcohol is wine, even if it is placed adjacent to two wine glasses.
3. The small refrigerator located in your hotel room isn't stocked with snacks out of common courtesy.
4. Costa Rican dogs do not climb trees.
5. If you ask a man if his wife is pretty, chances are he will say yes....better yet, just don't ask a man if his wife is pretty!
6. Sausages do not come from "Willshire Farms"
7. Woolworth is a five and dime in America. WADSworth, is not!
8. Coconuts cause more injuries in Hawaii than shark attacks.
9. If we have arrived at our destination the chances are great that this is, indeed, "Where we are".
10. There is no such thing as "crawfish day" no matter how hard others try to convince you.

I am so glad that I belong to a family that not only makes fun of ourselves, but each other too. We live for pointing out stupidity in each other and somehow manage to hold it in our memory banks forever!
