A customers chuckle.

Last Friday afternoon as I was busy at my desk, trying my best to get the time cards balanced and put on the work orders one of the salesmen had a customer who on his way out of the office stopped in front of my desk and ask, "Wanta hear a chuckle?"

Well, Do I have a choice ? ?? Seems like he is going to tell me anyway. So as not to be rude, I said, "Sure", as I stopped what I was doing and gave him my full attention.

This is his story:

You know that normally it is you Mom's who get embarrassed by things that your kids say. Normally they say things so odd and weird and just simply embarrass us to death.

I nodded my head as he continued,

Yesterday morning he said I was at Bob Evans with my brother for breakfast. There was a table close by with grandma, father and son eating breakfast. And real loudly the son said, "Dad this is real cool" The waitress had just set his plate of pancakes in front of him.

Dad said, "It's not cool in here, see the fan's aren't even going."
SON: "No dad, these pancakes are real cool!"
Dad: "How's that?"
IN A VERY, VERY LOUD VOICE The son replies "THEY AREN'T BURNT LIKE YOURS WERE YESTERDAY."

The grandmother spewed coffee from her mouth, as she started laughing. The Dad turned red, and every customer in the place turned to look at them. The waitresses disappeared into the kitchen.

He stated that his brother was laughing so hard he had to go on outside. But that he looked at the dad and said , "Sir, I think you got a keeper."

The father/dad's reply was, "IF,he lives to grow up."
The son kinda kept his head down and continued to eat his pancakes.


Out of the mouths of babes. They will always tell us the truth even if it sometimes embarrasses us.

He stated that when he got outside his brother was still laughing.

And as he left my desk and went out the door he too was still laughing.

Sometimes we all need a laugh. Even in the midst of our day when we are rushing to finish the job at hand so that we had our desk clear for week end.
