Now for the cute story 🙂

So my darling LITHPY tyler (that’s my Tyler with a LISP) has a BFF named Adam.  Adam and Tyler have known eachother since they were 3 ish and his mom and I are BFFFFs’ like soul sistahs.  So my BFF happens to produce these GINORMOUS children (her husband is 6’5 ish) (which has NOTHING to do with the story BTW) anyway I am an AVID Bugs Bunny watcher.. I think I know every episode.. well the one with the two dogs (OMG I hope it is from BUGS BUNNY) where one is a little annoying one, and one is gigantic.. the little one keeps asking questions to the big one saying “huh Chester, Huh Chester, HUH HUH HUH?” and the bigger dog gets so annoyed with the little one and says “AHHH SHADDDAP”.. Ever see that one?  Well if you ever saw the interaction between Tyler and Adam, you would be reminded of these 2 dogs as tyler is the little one and Adam is the giant..LOL ..

Ok on with the story .. Adam tells me a joke one day and he just KILLLLLS himself laughing and I don’t remember the joke but I DO remember the punchline.. and he said it in a sing song voice.. “NOT TODAY… MAYBE TOMORROW”… So now this has become an inside joke everywhere I go..LOL.. I speak to his mom and ask her if we should try a new diet.. she says “not today.. maybe tomorrow”.. you will see how FUNNY it is at how many situations this little statement applies to.. we LOL all day.. I ask dena if she packed an order… “not today maybe tomorrow”..  I have been waiting for my car for 5 days to be ready and dena just asked me if I am getting my car.. and guess what I said??? LOL Ok so maybe this is a BORING story but if you wanna hear how it SOUNDS.. you gotta call me and I will sing song it to you n’k?

Ok don’t forget BELLARIFIC FRIDAY THIS WEEK it’s a SKETCHYPOO
