There we were, the two of us, walking through the snow with sled in tow and a rascal of a dog beside us.
ReplyDeleteAs we passed the fire hydrant I heard rascal making his way towards it, (I don’t know what it is about dogs and a fire hydrant) but he stood there lookin’ at it trying to figure it out. I said, “rascal, get over here boy and leave that thing alone. It’s cold enough to make your tongue stick to it if you touched it with it!” (I found that out one day watchin’ lil’ Ralphie Parker be double-dog dared by the school bully to stick his tongue on the school flagpole…… that was quite “A Christmas Story!”)
Anyway, as me and lil’ Darla walked past the snowman I noticed the Old Man next door standing in front of his livin’ room window staring at his major award winning prize – a table lamp in the shape of a woman's leg wearing a fishnet stocking that he had won in a contest. The Old Man was overjoyed while his wife was flaying her arms around with a stern look on her face; all the while he was ignoring her. I think she was telling him how good it looked right where it was.
All of a sudden I felt something hit me in the back of my haid! It was a snowball……I turned myself around quick like and looked back and forth and didn’t see no one. But I did give that snowman that one-eye squinted mean look just so’s he’d know just in case. (You never know what magical things might happen during the Christmas holidays).
Well I turned and looked at Darla and she had that strange look on her face like
Finally Darla said, “The weather outside is frightful
But that fire is mhmm, delightful
Since we've no place to go,
let’s go to my place. I happen to have some fresh made chocolate chip cookies with the double double, extra-large, dark chocolate chips.”
I said, “hot diggity dog,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”
Gotcha! ⛄️
Puurfect!!!!!! giggle giggle..........☃⛄
