One son walked in the laundry area and as I was setting up yet another load of wash he asked me;
"What is the definition of eternity?"
Thinking to myself - he must know the answer to this by now but whatever, I answered him.
"Forever. eternity is forever."
This brought a chuckle from him.
"Yeah, well, it's four blondies in four different cars at a four way stop."
My chuckles blended in with his and then another son poked his head in the laundry area.
"I don't get it."
"Huh?", I responded.
"I don't get it, eternity is four blondies at a four-way stop?"
Chuckling a bit louder I explained the joke.
"Oh! I guess that makes me a blondie too - since I didn't get it. "
Actually - not to give away who this was, but he is the only blond in the family. Co-incidence???
Only related to the post via the laundry setting. My mom (mom to 12 - 16years between us, now all grown up)has dreams where the laundry goes on and on and she can never keep up with the washing and the folding. I tell her it isn't a dream it's a memory.
ReplyDeleteEternity = Laundry
Oh Sister Christine, that is all too true!
ReplyDeleteAnd today, in hopes of shortening my time spent in eternity, I spent a lot of time going though the mounds of clothes that keep recycling their way through the washer - yet never seem to find their way onto people's bodies! LOL
Blessings to you Sister and to your mum!
So, what's the blondie doing at home, hein?

Just a note to say good job (in general, not just laundry) for being a 'Mum' ( to twelve!). Your vocation is what gives the human race hope.
