The Recalcitrant Amoeba
He entered the kitchen.
She said: “What can I do for you?”
He said: “Nothing. I just want a couple of paper towels.”
She said [loudly and emphatically]:Â “No!”
He froze in the act of reaching for the obviously full roll of paper towels and said: “Why not?”
She said: “No reason. Just “no” because that’s what I felt like saying.”
He said: “Oh. Okay then.” He tore two paper towels from the roll, kissed her on the cheek, and left the room.

Okay if you say so. LOL
Thom, you mean you don’t think Amoeba was the one being difficult? PFt.
This could be a scene from MY house!!
I KNEW I liked you
😀
Play, in lots of different forms, is fun!
Earlier this week at the bowling alley Thing Two approached while I was talking with a new aquaintance and gave me a hug. I turned to him and said, “Hello, little boy. Do I know you? Do you need me to help you find your mommy?”
He rolled his eyes at me and said, “Hey lady, can I have a buck for the pop machine?”
hee hee
My new friend seemed very amused when I explained the whole thing later.
Logo — word play is a one of my favorite stimulants. Amoeba and I are forever doing this stuff to each other.
Good thing he knows you’re nuts.
Nessa — he was in the wrong cupboard for the nuts. I keep them with the spices, not with the paper towels.
sounds just like my dad.
SN — well, in this case, ignoring me was really the only sensible option.
Never a dull moment with you two.
Lovely interaction! Sometimes I just feel like saying no, too
He didn’t even smack you? Oh yea! He did! A big ol’ smacker right on the cheek!
so yoou actually wanted to do something for him and he wouldn’t let you? how inconsiderate! 😉
Now that’s married life at its best — I love the way you two get along in all kinds of ways LOL
