Better living through chemistry . . .
My husband would kill me if he knew I was blogging about this, so I'm not going to tell him.
He was in the hospital for three days in March for a possibly coronary. We spent a lot of time with his doctor (who I went to high school with so we've known him a looooong time) and many medical issues were discussed.
Fast forward a week and a half later and we're out in Port Townswend, WA, visiting with our granddaughter Emme (okay, her parents, too).
One night we were all sitting around talking about "dad's" hospitalization and my husband says, "Well, one problem I've had for years has been solved. I now take one Cialis every day."
Husband says, "I now take a Cialis every day and it really helps."
Working hard to keep myself from busting a gut, I interrupted and said, "Honey, it does start with a "C," but you now take a Claritin every day."
The four of us laughed so hard we almost wet our pants.
Now, can any of you top that?

That is a great story and I'll try and not tell Dick. I had taken my mother out to eat and we had gotten our sandwiches and I asked he did she need any condiments and she responded "what would I need with them things".
Our family teased her about that for years.

This goes back a very, very long way.
My parents had moved to Connecticut to enjoy retirement and be near my dad's mom, Hannie. I have to tell you that it has been said that I do take after her and I'm not sure that's a very good thing. Every week my mom took grandma to the grocery store because they did not want her to drive anymore. (She always drove on the wrong side of the road, so I don't know what was different!) Anyway, in line to check out, there was a display of TV Guide magazines. Bill Cosby graced the cover, because of his long-time successful sit-com. My grandmother, in a very LOUD voice said, "What's the world coming to putting black people on the covers of magagzines?" She of course came from a time in our history when any ethnicity was considerd suspect. My mother felt all eyes on her and absolutely wanted to leave the cartful of groceries and leave as quickly as possible. My grandmother would have none of that, as she wanted her favorite ice cream to go with her.

LOL, Sandy I can relate...personally. My husband and I have been together for nearly 20 years (in June), and as a teenager his mom had dinner on the table every night at 6p.m., Mark had a cat and I'm very allergic to cats having never been around them. My eyes would itch, water and I'd start sneezing. His mom gave me this white pill and said "this will help". I knew the name of the pill started with a "c", and I can remember asking for the chloraphyl. He looked at me strange and said chloraphyl, what the hell you talking about! I said you know that stuff your mom gave me for the cat allergy. He pulls the bottle out of the cupboard and the "correct name" is corticidine.....Who knew, it was a C right!?!?
