LOL
My brother, when he was 15, was about to get some strapping from my Mom. For what I don’t recall.
But, he turns to my Mom and says “Wait. I wunnuh tell you something first”.
My Mom says “What?”
“Well, it could be worse” he said.
“How?” she asked.
“Well, I’m only a fifteen year old boy and we should thank God I’m not pregnant”. He wily says with a smart alec grin.
That was it!!! We were all laughing so hard it sounded like a bunch a lil girls and it was tough catching our breath.
My Mom is laughing one of those laughs were you can’t make any noise and she loses all muscle control on the paddle and ends up dropping it.
That only made things worse.
Well, after we all quite making stupid faces trying not to laugh, she tells him to sit at the dinner table and not say a word.
So we’re all looming at each other trying not to laugh and he is looking at everyineand trying not to laugh.
My Mom is trying not to laugh and still be the boss. She says tells”You better not crack any jokes or say a word. Just eat”.
She sounds dummy serious and we’re all grinning.
Well, it’s Sunday dinner. Fried chicken, potatoes and gravy, Okra.
My brother looks up at me for support in keeping him from laughing .
Ain’t happening. I lock my eyes on him and flash a big smile. Mom says says”don’t!”
My brother does all he can but the laugh starts to come and he ends up blowing his nose/brains all over his dinner. (there was ton of stuff that might have brain matter, I dunno).
My Mom gets up and grabs his plate. He grabs it too and grabs”No” like some girl and my Mom(a girl) also high pitched says “yes”.
My brother says again like a little girl also”No”.
My Mom is trying desperately not to laugh and wrests the plate away. She then proceeded to dump the whole thing on top of his head.
OMG!!! We all lost it and my Mom is trying to restore order tells everyone “Just Eat!”.
I have no idea what voice that was but, we all lostiIit again and just laughed.
Laughed at Mom for laughing and not being the boss(not her fault...really) and looming at my idiot brother with a plate full of chicken, mashed potato&gravy, Okra and maybe 1/2 his brains or not all over him.
Gawd, if you weren’t there....
Well, probably the only way that whole scene is funny or if I tell it in person.
Gonna call him later and relive the story.
“Well, it could be worse. I’m a fifteen year old boy. I could be be pregnant.
Too funny!!!!!
