My wife spends all day on her computer, she and I were driving along one day. She asked "What's laugh out loud cheese?" I glanced over to a sign outside the local deli. The sign read LOL cheese. I had to tell her that meant Land O' Lakes.

On day I happily pulled into the lot of the new Polish Shop in town. Visions of kielbasa and peirogis filled my head. As I approached the door I saw a sign, "Mani Pedi $29". Doh!

Whenever I hear the Mama's and the Papa's I'm transported to my Mom's Ford LTD station wagon with the fake wood sides. For what seemed to be hours on a road trip my baby sister sang "Dream a little dream of me" over and over. My mom was not pleased. It was like yesterday, not 40 years ago.
