Random Ramblings – Living with “Old Timers”
That's "old timers" not Alzheimers.
Last night, settling in to go to sleep was a comedic sketch. Tom got himself, the dog, and the cat all snuggled up in bed first, so when I finally tried to go to bed, this is what ensued:
Tom: Did you turn the oven off?
Lori: I think so, why?
Tom: I thought I heard it "click"
