Make Me Funny

I fixed Mom's plate tonight: leftover shrimp & angel hair, from her favorite chinese place, First Wok. While she munched away, I set a bowl of fruit next to her plate, and then a little candy dessert: "Here you go, Mom, some chocolate covered pretzels for a snack, when you're done."

"Chocolate covered puppets?!!"

"Yes, Mom, I'm giving you a chocolate-covered puppet."

She knew immediately that was silly, and started laughing. So happy to see me laughing with her, she said:

"I like to make you funny."

"You make me funny, alright."

It's true. Every day she makes me funny.
