LOL! (cue the music) I'm Chip, I'm Dale, we're just a couple of happy chipmunks out to have some fun!
That was also the point about my mom in that story, she was a very intelligent woman, but sometimes got her words a little mixed up.
My mom did the same thing....SHe once told my dad she wanted to stay home (She was his secretary, they had a Bush marriage) for a few weeks and be a "groundhog". We had carpenters adding a room to the house and she wanted to be their "GO-for"!
Laura reminds me a lot of my mother....Basically very shy, but VERY capable......and a wonderful sense of humor.....Laugh easy and long.
