Leading comment of the Holiday season

With all these odd people in both of our families, there is always a competition for the craziest thing to come out of someone's mouth. This year, the contest was won hands down by a convo that occurred very early on in the proceedings--the present opening at Barry's family a week ago.

Barry's mom bought him some snow pants for his upcoming boy trip. She bought them at Dick's Sporting goods and she started out by telling him that she could not find any in talls for him, so they may not fit. She kept the gift receipt for him, in case he needed to exchange them.

He was sitting on the couch, holding them over his body to see if they might be long enough when she said it.

"Do you have a Dick's down there?"

I may have actually spit my drink out laughing so hard. And that was before I even saw his face--he looked so funny trying to figure out if she actually said that.

He got himself together and said, "Yes, I most certainly do."

About that time, she realized what she had said and tried to scramble to cover it up, but it was a lost cause, we were all in hysterics--the kind of laughing that you cannot control and that starts all over again every time you tell the story.

What a funny bunch of people
