FIMM, Don't be like himm...

Episode 67: You're expecting a what?

FIMM's been busy this week at Blogger Cable and he was dead tired when he got home to his lovely wife,  Bonnie.  She had been waiting for him all day to tell him something very special.  She dreamed about the day she would tell her husband this and she took the day to plan it all out. 

FIMM:  Hi Bonnie.  I'm beat.  What's for dinner?

Bonnie:  Oh I have a very special dinner planned. It'll be ready in just a minute.  First I want to tell you something very special.  Can you guess what it is?  (Bonnie held up her knitting)

FIMM:  Oh that's nice but what did you want to tell me?

Bonnie:  Did you notice what they are?  Little booties????  

FIMM: Is that for the dog? 

Bonnie:  No FIMM.  I'm knitting...LITTLE BOOTIES ??? 

FIMM:  They're cute.  Are they for your cousin?  What's for dinner?  

Bonnie:  No FIMM they are for us.  We're having BABY Back Ribs. 

FIMM:  For us?  They're too small for us.  Oh I LOVE Baby Back Ribs! 

Bonnie:  I'm trying to tell  you something FIMM.  The Baby Booties!  Baby Back Ribs!  Knitting little things! 

FIMM:  Yeah.  I get it. Y ou're knitting for your cousin and you made ribs.  They smell great!

Bonnie: They are not for my cousin.   In just about 8 more months we will be needing these booties, FIMM!

FIMM:  How's that?  Listen, tell me in about a half hour.  I'm going to take a shower. 

Bonnie:  FIMM, in a few months they are going to have a "shower" for me! 

FIMM:  What are  you talking about?  You can take a shower any time you like. 

(Bonnie's dreams of breaking the news to her husband in a subtle way just wasn't working out.  FIMM just wasn't really listening.  She thought she would wait until after his shower and try another tactic.)

Bonnie:  FIMM, I'm trying to tell you something very important.  I wanted to tell you in a special way.  You just aren't reading between the lines so I'm just going to tell you.  FIMM, I'm expecting!

FIMM:  Expecting what? 


It took a bit of doing, but Bonnie finally got through to FIMM.  He took a little trip to the floor, but the father-to-be is recovering nicely!

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DON'T MISS: Tuesday Tips, Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man, Friday Funnies, Defending the Faith SONdays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com
