A MEMORY TO LAUGH BY

My family is grown but I have memories to laugh by. One particularly sticks out in my recollections:


The refrigerator door was open with half of my daughter sticking out, headside in, rear side out. A frosty, muffled voice sounded from inside the refrig, "There's no tomatoes no lettuce, no nothing."

"Look again Bina," I replied, "There is tuna fish, corned beef, turkey and kielbasy and there are tomatoes on the counter."


"Tomatoes on the counter? We never have tomatoes in the refrigerator; never a cold tomatoe (The little greiper went on and on).


Now Bina that would be bad for business; you wouldn't want it to get around that we keep our tomatoes cold at Hot Spar would you? I laughed and was accused of being a dirty old lady. She fixed a toasted cheese and tomatoe sandwich as I sipped my tea wondering about the difference between toasting a cold tomato or a warm tomato in a sandwich.

I'm still laughing about the difference between toasting a warm tomato and toasting a cold tomato. It's my hope that you "grewsome" and know the difference now.
