Hmmm… Can Bottle Tops?

Hmmm… Can Bottle Tops?

I don’t watch much TV… so because of this – I don’t know what is popular on those “Seen on TV” Commercials.

But this year – according to my mom – it’s Bottle Tops for Cans… say what?

So – these are bottle cap tops for cans of sodas. It supposedly keeps the fizz in the soda… I have no idea. But my mom saw it fit to buy a dozen or so of these bottle caps… which amused my niece and nephews to no end. I was quite intrigued by it… wondering why anyone would ever think to invent such a thing. And why anyone in their right mind would purchase anything like it… oh wait… my Mom bought it.

Conversation with my Mom

Conversation with my Mom

My mom, God love her, is very tender-hearted. It’s a great thing. She’s also a Craigslist addict. She loves Craigslist… here is a conversation I had with her on the phone just the other day…

Mom – Hi Mildred.

Me – Hey Mom.

Mom – I’m on Craigslist.

Me – Yeah?

Mom – Do you want a puppy?

Me – What?

Mom – A single mother is giving away a two-month old Bichon puppy.

Me – Mom, I can’t have a puppy.

Mom – Why not?

Me – Because… I can’t.

Mom – But it’s so cute!

Me – What’s it look like?

Mom – I don’t know, there’s no picture, but all puppies are cute.

Mom – (typing)

Me – What are you doing?

Mom – Writing the woman to ask for a picture.

Me – Mom!

Mom – Do you think I can give Gabby a puppy?

Me – No! You and Dad just gave her a kitten. Emmilie would never allow you to give her a puppy. You all have two dogs already!

Mom – Hmmm… okay, I’ll talk to you later.

Me – What are you going to do?

Mom – Call your sister and ask her.

Me – MOM!

Mom – Bye!

Sigh… yes, that’s my mom and her tender-heart… wanting to save cute 2 month-old puppies…
