Brooklyn Tony ON GRAMMAR

One day, during lessons on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word "beautiful" in the same sentence twice.

First, she called on little Suzie, who responded with, "My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it."

"Very good, Suzie," replied the teacher. She then called on little Michael.

"My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully."

She said, "Excellent, Michael!"

Then the teacher reluctantly called on  Brooklyn Tony.

"Last night at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said ‘Beautiful, just fucking beautiful!’"

some of my blogging buddies could use a good joke ….

How do you know you’re really ugly?

dogs close their eyes when they’re humping your leg!   ;)

things are getting busy here at Chez Swine — but while there is loads to do, it seems that there is nothing for me to do.  Except knit! 

Daughter #1 is in a swirl of last minute parties, while her mother is in an ever increasing last minute worry about packing.  Yet I am doing nothing because she needs to be the one to do it. 

So here I sit — knitting.  I am churning out some one-skein-wonders for the co-ed.

The spinning meeting was fabulous!  I had an impromptu spinning lesson from another member – which was great, I got a lot of great tips and tricks.  And another member was not spinning, but was making bobbin lace.  It was extraordinary.  I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera – I have never seen anything like it before!

PurlingSwine will be on hiatus next week – try to soldier on without me.

be brave!
