Seasonal Snippets

If someone were haunting our house and overheard a few conversations during the last week, he/she might have been intrigued by these words:

Scene 1:
I'm in my office and exclaim a bit loudly.
"You broke something?" She asks. (I break things too often.)
"You sound like your father." I respond. (He's witnessed my breakage habit.)
"You broke your blogger?" (She thinks I said.)

Scene 2:
We finishing the last of the presents and have an unwieldy item to cover.
"Be careful or you will run out of penguin." She implores. (That's the design on the Christmas wrap.)

Scene 3:
"Mom, did you steal my jeans?" She inquires. (Actually, she left them outside her closed bedroom door. I had picked them up and put them in the washer, as is our custom when she's visiting. They were still dry. Mystery solved easily.)

Scene 4
"Don't set my bangs on fire." She warns. (I'm trying to give her a whiff of the Christmas cookie candle scent.)
