WHERE IS MY NAPKIN, MAMA?
*****
Mama has just decided to stick with Tuesday Tickles to bring some fun into our Tuesday blog (plus it’s so convenient to know what one is doing instead of having to think something up each time haha, n’est-ce pas?) so with that in mind, here goes…
Once long ago in Berkeley (!) mama had friends to Thanksgiving roast ducks and she went to the kitchen, got the platter, came back to the table and everyone was naked!!!! She picked up their huge linen napkins and draped their little bodies with them…
Hey, any port in a storm, right.
Hope you got a giggle over that. Heaven knows WHAT she would do if that happened now, haha.
I’m not sure I wanted to see that….thank heaven I wasn’t there!
Well that had to be a shock! Sounds like your mamma handled it well.
HAHA, big napkins pay off, n’est-ce pas?
Ha ha ha I love your mama’s story, Loulou. I also read it on her wonderful Substack. At least there were serviettes available so that nobody would burn their naughty bits.
HAHA, “their naughty bits” is hilarious. Berkeley was so full of new…uh…unususal happenings in the 60s.
Gracious, it would have been a bit of a shock. I’m not sure I could have handled it with such aplomb.
I think mama’s aplomb was being tested as happened often in those times. Revolution, discovery, challenges…but she’s still here, haha.
That is funny. Thanks for the chuckle. XO
Well, it’s one way to have an interesting dinner…
Weren’t the ducks naked too ?
(Is that Rasta ?)
HAHA yes at first but then dressed as mama’s was in cherry sauce! Yes, that’s Rasta, still here and dining with us at times.
did uncle Rasta git hizza flee problem addressed?
hizz flee prob wuz ad-dressed wit a pipette of flee meds beetween da ears….jus don’t tell….
That’s hilarious! I think I would have dropped the platter of duck on the floor though AND probably also would have had to order pizza delivery!
Hugs, Pam
HAHA your mama, Teddy, is so thoughtful to order pizza for those BAAAAD guests…mama thinks her “aplomb” was being tested but all in fun. No one thought twice obout being semi- or naked in the 60s…no one cared. Sort of refreshing really but mama has NOT joined a nudist colony yet, thank cod. At her age, she is REALLY happy clothed, haha.
