My mom can tell a good yarn, she is not a gossip but she believes in story telling and does a pretty good job even now and again as stand-up at different events over the years, and to be honest, she has passed on that ability to take something funny and just stretch it a little to make it into side splitting funny..  I had a hard time figuring out as a young child the different between a mom fact, and mom story.. thankfully as a teenager I finally “got it”

So when my mom made a nicely toned dramatic statement that she was breaking out of her “cell” today come heck or high water and that she demanded her “jailor aka farmgal” give her a day pass, I just started to laugh, and its been a running joke between us all day..

So given that she was released, I figured it was a good time to wash the bed, dust and vacoom, fluff the pillows etc.. You see the two guest bedrooms are just across from each other, with the second bathroom right next door, so with the doors open, mom just needs to speak at night and I can get up and give a helping hand, but she didn’t really think about the lack of view out the window etc

So here is her “Little Bedroom Jail”

And here is her day room 😉

And she says that if I don’t stopping being a smarty, she is going to send me to the corner to think about what it, just like this poor little tike LOL (just to be clear that is stuffy toy)
