Ulterior Motives?
Erika wonders why she always receives oral hygiene type gifts from her Grandmother, “Why did she send me an electric toothbrush, Listerine Pocket Paks, and a tongue scraper? Does my breath stink?” I am sure my mom is not trying to send Erika a message. But if she were, I wonder what my mom was trying to tell me.
Ulterior Motives: Presents from Mom.
- Slipper Socks: Rubber stoppers on the soles? Shaped like a tube? Are they to be worn around the house? I have no idea WTF slipper socks are.
-
Message: Walk. Don’t Run!
The overriding theme in all email contact with mom is, “Stay healthy and enjoy life.” Maybe the Slipper Sock was sent to minimize my in-house travel speeds. I really don’t know.
- Listerine Pocket Paks and Licorice Flavored Altoids: Maybe *covers mouth*, Erika and I have something in common.
-
Message: Your breath is offensive.
Is it? *Haaaaa…Sniff…Haaaa…Sniff* I don’t smell anything. To be safe, I’ll munch on one of these Altoids. Okay, maybe one more for good measure. A third for backup.
- Licorice: “I know how much you like licorice.” Life without licorice is like an empty 60 Gig Video iPod.
-
Message:
Maybe this is her way of making sure I stay regular. Doesn’t she know it gives me rusty water?
-
Ulterior Motives: Gift from Spouse.
- Aftershave Lotion: Big bottle!
-
Message:
Hopefully, the message here is, “u r teh s3xx0rz when you are clean shaven. Wear this to amplify your sexiness.” Yeah, that is what she is trying to tell me - No comments from the peanut gallery!
The rest of my gifts (a container of Jalapeño Pringles, a Mystery Theater CD, and some more munches) basically said, “Eat and be merry!” *Pats belly*
I hope your gifts brought good messages.
