"Goodness, Gracious, 8-balls and Tires!"
Poor lad should’ve jumped higher, good gracious me, great balls of fire.
My 4y/o is watching a cartoon whereby there are some asteroids and meteors & says, “Oh my goodness gracious! Daddy! A meteor shower!!”
To which I responded, “Meatier than what? Campbell’s Chunky Soup?”
For as long I can think of, anytime I would take my family out for supper at a restaurant, when our server would bring us the check I would in my best calm and collected demeanor advise our server "Oh table #?? said they were picking this up for us tonight", to which most servers just give a ya right smile or a simple haha nice try sir.
Well on this most recent adventure I see the check coming and get all primed and plot it all out. The server politely slides the check to me, I so graciously put my hand on it and slide it back with my recited lines delivered so perfectly "Oh yes I should have told you sooner that table 16 has offered to pick up the check tonight". Well our server burst out laughing, which to us was a surprise as its not as hilarious as she is now making it. Well when she finally stops laughing enough to talk, she so wonderfully delivers the message, "thats good to know sir - cause your sitting at table 16!"
Jokes on me! But it made for a great night of laugh at dad.
Edit - "demeanor" - where the frick was auto correct on that one. thx Enders!
Out with some friends, when one says "I just read that a couple of teenagers killed a cow with softballs" the others that were with us agreed with the girl who said how horrible it was. Then I said, with a smirk "I guess you could say that was a mooorder" Everyone facepalmed at once, as the girl said "oh goodness gracious".
