Soft Ice Cream: An Irish Blessing (modified)

May the road rise to meet you, but not so fast that it smites your ice cream and you lose your cone.

May the wind be always at your back, and may it not be your mother complaining about how much she just spent on your lost cone.

May the sun shine warm upon your face—unless, of course, it's in the middle of a hot summer day and you wanted the ice cream to cool down.

And rains fall soft upon your fields. Mary, Mother of Christ, it was just sunny. Why is it raining already? What about my replacement cone?

And until we meet again, and please bring the right change this time, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand and protect you from your mother, the sun and the rain—even if you can't hold the ice cream cone in the hollow of your own hand.

Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head

Their Story

Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called ‘Yam’. Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like ‘Hot Potato,’ and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots. Yam said not to worry; no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her! But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland. And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries; and also, when she went out West, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, ‘Frito Lay.’ Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw! Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just...................


Are you ready for this?
