Short Stories
Recently my wife asked me to take away the secondary verification for Amazon so she could order me something for Christmas and I then would not be able to see it. I get up the next morning and see my son had ordered 18 different items.
You know how sometimes you see those helium-filled birthday balloons that come back down to the ground, well the other morning I was driving down our country road when I spotted one up ahead moving on the side of the road. Apparently, this squirrel was holding on to the string and running with it. Pretty cute, until it decided to cross the road. Thankfully, the balloon survived.
Ok, so we were able to cancel 17 of those items and the one that we couldn’t cancel was $50. So my son apologized and offered to work for it. So I told him that he would have to work 4 hours to pay for it. Then I realized that because of COVID he couldn’t work at the restaurants and so he would work at home. Well, that means I have to go out and show him what to do, so really that means I have to work 4 hours. Next time I will be the lazy father and not the "Tough Love" type.
Well, everyone I hope you all have a nice and safe Christmas. We will pretty much just be serving take out until the first of the year and hope that the caseloads drop in the hospitals. Soon we will look back at this and smile. Of course, we have to have a drink in our hands to do that, but we will smile.
Thanks, everyone. Merry Christmas and stay SAFE.
