Nearly every time she posts, Dorcas picks on one of her children and writes down something funny they said in a feature called "Quote Of The Day." But who will write down the funny things Dorcas herself says? I, Emily Smucker, daughter of the renowned Dorcas Smucker, have taken it upon myself to write down something funny that my dear Mother said today. If any of her children had said it, she would have hurriedly scribbled it down on someone's homework or the corner of her grocery list, to be used as her next quote of the day. But as it was she herself who said it, she spared herself such treatment, so I have decided to do it for her.
Today, while rooting around in the fridge, Mom discovered that (gasp) someone had put a pitcher of grape juice in the fridge that was almost entirely empty. This is a particular pet peeve of hers.
Mom: (in a very annoyed voice) Who put THIS in the FRIDGE??? BEN???
Ben: No, it was Jenny.
(Jenny was gone from the room at the moment, or else she would have been thoroughly chewed out)
Me: (peering around corner) Well, there's a little bit of grape juice left in there.
Mom: *snort*! There's not enough grape juice in there for a mouse to take communion with.
thats amazing. :) she must have mice on her mind.
