I know this falls under the you-had-to-be-there category, but I still can't resist sharing.

After studying West Africa on a map, I held out a box of Macaroons and asked the boy: "Would you like to have a Cameroon?"

He is STILL teasing me. Small things, me dear, small things...

Then, on Christmas day we were over at a friend's house. She poured my drink into a beautiful new wine glass, handed it to me and said: "These are so delicate, they really shouldn't be washed in the microwave."

Yeah, okay, so you really had to have been there, but believe me, after sampling a variety of potent potables, it was hysterically funny.

Man, if only I had a dollar for every time I said something stupid like that. Once when I was sick with fever and delusional I heard my mom opening the medicine cabinet and for some reason it sounded like the oven. I cried out to her, "Mom, why are you baking the cat?"

I'm sorry I would have teased you too. In a nice way.

Saying you can't wash wine glasses in the microwave is like saying you can't fly to the moon in a pig.... I think. Anyway, I say, you should go right ahead and use the microwave for those purposes, if you so desire.

Cheers, Red. Hope you've been having a luvverly Christmas and have an even better New Year.
