Potluck ~ The Non-Fiction Version
Okay, if you’ve read what He Said They Said,
here is what She Says They Really Said:
She: “You may have the car today, I’m not going anywhere. I finished my grocery shopping yester– … Crap!â€
He: “What did you forget?â€
She: “And after I’d already gone back to the market once yesterday and told Nina that I had a bone to pick with her, ’cause she’d let me check out without reminding me to pick up, um …â€
He: “What did you forget?â€
She: “She didn’t know either.â€
He: “That was yesterday. What did you forget today?â€
She: “Sunday’s potluck. They want finger food.â€
He: “Finger food!” He crossed his arms and hid his hands. “I’m not going to church on Sunday!â€
She: “What do you mean, you’re not going? You just spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon with Don and Terry practicing special music. What do you plan to tell them?”
He: “I don’t think I’ll have to tell Terry anything. Don can still sing if we’re having finger food, but Terry won’t be able to play the organ and I won’t be able to play my trumpet!”
She: “Honey, the congregation likes your trumpet enough that I don’t think you’ll have to worry about your fingers.”
He: “Oh, OK then, you’d better take the car and get to the store. Stalking the neighborhood with a cleaver isn’t the best thing for our reputation.â€
She:Â “You realize I am going to share this conversation at church don’t you?”
He:Â “Good, maybe it will spoil their appetites and they’ll leave my fingers alone!”

I like the rebuttal. One thing I can tell, Amoeba really wanted to get sent to the grocery store.
Doug — like I just told Thom on the other post, the butt story is here!
I knew the previous version wasn’t quite right.
Nessa — Amoeba’s versions always tend to white wash me or make me out an idiot. Neither of which is true. Mostly.
Keebler® Vienna Fingers® Cookies are the perfect companion to a Sunday pot-luck dinner.
They’re nutritious AND delicious !!
Great idea, Karen, but instead of fingers wer’re taking legs!
That Amoeba has an interesting sense of humor! He and Bert would get along fine!
Beth, did you happen to notice that there are TWO versions of this story? Amoeba wrote one and I wrote the other.
Now this is a Bite Me moment LOL 🙂
Thom — and tomorrow at the potluck dinner people are going to be pulling our legs.
Okay, now we have HIS version and HER version… is there a REAL version? 😉
[ducks and runs]
Karen — apparently dudes had the same question! LOL! Their version was written and scheduled to post before we received this comment!
I so enjoy your conversations. 😉
