This is my favorite gum. Each year, after Halloween I purchased two bags at the 50% off table. Last me all year and I do love it, I love the candy coating.
Today, when we were in town shopping I noticed at the dollar store, they had a big huge double bubble machine. I laughed, said - Noisemaker, I need one of these. Only problem, we did not have a twenty five cent piece, so we skip on out. I will get one next time, it is a really big piece of bubble gum.
As we are exiting the store, Noisemaker says to me - I guess you need the twenty five cent bubble gum for when you go out on the porch and do those 'things'? What 'things' - what are you talking about? Oh my word, Noisemaker does this little jerk dance (lasted about 10 seconds), and oh I laughed. Noisemaker does not do things like that. My take - he is getting on in years...gracefully - but really wants to learn how to dance. Like I want to learn how to tap dance.
Our day progresses, we shop and get everything done. As we were driving home we noticed Charly's place is for sale. Charly is a very nice gentleman. He is now retired and moving to a warmer climate (oh lucky, Charly). I asked Charly, well - give me your new address.. and to this he does.
My word, I nearly peed on the spot - he gives me a piece of paper and it reads Carl. His real name is Carl.
I burst out laughing and said - when in doubt or what fits, just call them Carl ~
...she called everybody Carl...
