What Goes Up, Must Come Down

Archive for November, 2009

Today the doorbell rang around lunchtime. In a good mood I open the door, still having half a sandwich in my hand. A woman looks at me and starts her conversation.

Woman : Yesterday you got this catalogue and I am here to pick it up if you do not wanna have it anymore

I am staring at her … because I really don’t know what she is talking about. I never got that particular catalogue she is holding.

Me : What catalogue ??

Woman : This one, you got it yesterday …

Me : Me not got anything … Dunno what you are talking about

W : Yes , you got it, they brought it yesterday

I am getting slightly irritable ….

Me : Miss, I DID NOT GET IT

W : Yes you did, ( smiling ) you must have misplaced it

Okay, now she is OFFICIALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES …

Me : I … DID … NOT … GET .. THIS !!!

W : Yes you did, than you must have thrown it away , but that is allright !!

That last one she said in a way like ‘forgiving me’. And than … than she totally went to far

Me : WOMAN … When I say I didn’t get it, I DID not GET it, GET IT ??? I , Gawdamn, know what I get in my mail ! Sjeesss !

W : But, it is okay if you haven’t got it anymore … would you like a new one

Me : IF I haven’t GOT it anymore ?? A NEW ONE … a NEEEWWW ONE ??? OMG, woman, from WHAT Universe did they sent you ?? You are the most PIGHEADED I have ever seen ! Sjeeeeesssss

Than I decided to close the door, because take it from me, she would not have survived another minute. I mean, COME ONE PEOPLE !!!! Tell me, WHERE did I go wrong. Where was I not clear enough ??? WHY do they sent such people ??? WHY AT MY DOORSTEP.

Yesterday the doorbell rang. I went to the door and there was a mailman. He handed me over a package and said it was for the neighbours. They were not at home , so if he could leave it with us. No problem, of course. Than he handed me over another package meant for us. I left the package for the neighbours in the hallway and took ours to the livingroom.

Sander : Who was it at the door ?

Me : The mailman, he had a package for the neighbours. They are not at home, in fact, I think they are on holidays.

Still holding the package meant for us … I looked at the package ( from us ) to see where it was from. Than I ripped it open.

Sanders eyes opened wide. He looked at me and gasped …

Sander : WHAT are you doing !! Are you mad , woman !!!

Suddenly I realized I might have forgotten to tell him the mailman also gave a package for us and THIS was OUR package. But, hey … I would not be me if I didn’t milk this situation.

Me : Yeah, sooo … they are on holidays … what is the problem ?

Sander : Are you crazy … you are opening the package

Me : Yeah, I am opening it, so what ?  ( Hey , I was still not telling a lie )

Sander : Come on get a grip !!

Me : Oh, did I forget to tell you there came a package for us too ? This one ..

Sander : Sjeeeesss Marga .. you nearly gave me a fit !!! Hehehehe

Me : LOL the package for the neighbours is still in the hallway LOL

I love this … sometimes the situation is just there to use and create a funny situation ! YAY !

Today we went to the woods with the kids and my mom. As you know, my mom can be really hilarious when it comes to her noticing things, or actually NOT noticing them.

We walk along a pond in which a few ducks are swimming. On the bridge my mom says to us in a shocked way … ‘OMG that DUCK overthere has something large … he is eating it’. We look at the pond, notice the duck … and indeed the duck has something large.

To be exact … the DUCK is ON TOP of something … :whistle:  … Let’s say … we are staring at a VERY PRIVATE DUCKIE moment …

Husband : Well, I think he is NOT eating something

Mom : Wha … ? There look, he has something

Me : MOMMM, he is NOT EATING SOMETHING … he … hummm, he has fun … I don’t know if SHE can say the same

Mom : OHHHH NOO … OMG … I thought he was eating it !!

Husband : Noop, definately not eating …

Hahahahaah, I love my mom. She can be sooo naive ! YAY !
