In response to last week’s question, "What should a child do when
hearing a compliment from a stranger?", my sailing friend Bradley
recommended, "Take the candy and run away- best of both worlds." My neighbor Al agreed, "Take the candy
and run, but the judge told me I can't talk about it."
My writing and sailing friend Rich offered, "Can you put that in
writing? Mom and Dad need proof that I am not Satan's whelp."
My hiking friend Kelly cautioned, "Examine the inside of the stranger’s
van carefully for any signs that the stranger is a fan of Michael Jackson." My dad's beach buddy Bob suggested, "Smile,
say thank you, then extend their hand and say 'please to get the real green
stuff,' or at least a hand shake."
My social media friend Mark replied, "Same as an adult...say thank
you, smile, and move on" to which my college roomie John added, "but
no reason to start a dialog."
Please share your
thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
When are you eligible
to eat at the adult table?
Live well...laugh
often and heartily.... have a good week and never regret anything that made you
smile!

Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Thanksgivukkah. It's about the oil. For a little Thanksgivukkah related humor:
