So much to say....

My name is Yums, and I am addicted.....to blogging.  This is my third blog in the past three hours but one of my friends posted on facebook that she needed something funny to read because she cut her pinkie off (seriously, part of it is gone) and is in pain and needed something to get her mind off of it.  Feeling sorry for her and her pain, I decided to tell her about something that happened at the State Fair when we were there two days ago.

My husband and I were walking off all of the food we had been eating since we walked thru the gate of the state fair when we heard the gun shots from the turkey shoot.  We decided to walk over to see what was going on and as we approached the area, the guy with the microphone (the "turkey shoot emcee" we will call him) called out to my hubby by saying the name of the restaurant that was on his t-shirt.  My husband looked up and the guy asked him "Did you check your daughter out of school to bring her to the fair?"  I immediately smiled (at least on the inside) because I knew he was telling my grey haired husband of forty-two that I looked a lot younger than he did (which enforced that the ridiculous amount of money I spend on hair color is so worth it) but my hubs didn't get the joke and a little befuddled responded "We don't have any kids" to which I whispered to him "he was talking about me!" After his delayed reaction of catching emcee's funny, Yucks (that is my nickname for my husband which might explain Yums to those of you who know me and wondered where the heck did that come from!!!) mischieviously said "this is my girlfriend" and I (looking as serious as possible) looked up to emcee on the platform and said "his wife is at home!"  Emcee shocked and speechless said "umm...I'm not touching that one!!!" We started laughing and said "just kidding" and I held up my left hand and said "I'm the wife."  At this point three or four young'uns (I'm a southern gal) standing in front of us probably in their late teens/early twenties started laughing at our joke and I explained that we had used that one before when one of the guys turned to us and with the most mortified look on his face said "I thought you were serious!!"  I hope he at least thought it was funny!!!


Note about photo:  I was taking a picture of a cow that looked like an oreo cookie and in the stall next to said cow, this cow came over and literally posed for this picture!!!  I love the fair!!!
