Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man: Hitting the Sauce



Episode 125: Hitting the Sauce

FIMM's cousin Albert has been living with them for some time now. He's a big help to FIMM and Bonnie with the babies and around the house.  On Monday, FIMM was having a tough day.  He came home tired and just wanted to eat his hamburger in peace, however, the phone just kept ringing with wrong numbers and sales calls for time shares in Florida.  Albert thought he'd help FIMM out by answering the phone for him. 

FIMM's hamburger was waiting and getting cold as he was trying desperately to get the ketchup out of the bottle.  After the day he had, the last thing he needed was an uncooperative ketchup bottle!  FIMM shook it vigorously and finally began slapping the bottom of the bottle with great force when the phone rang once more.

Albert: Hello?  Oh hi there, Pastor Bill.  No FIMM can't come to the phone right now.  Can I take a message?  Well, I really think it'd be better if you called back then.  He had a REALLY tough day and he's hitting the sauce pretty hard!

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 homeschooling and 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll share news items, quotes, family friendly humor, tips, trivia, and my newest feature: Question of the Week. I invite you to come share your thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
