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

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…
