Yesterday’s comment from my sister, Carol/Missy, (one of which is her real name), prompted me to tell the story of the shirt she mentioned.
When we were very young, probably about 11 and 9, we found this shirt that said “Love Me Tender” in big bright bold letters. We knew our dad was an Elvis fan, so we thought that of course, he would love this big bright bold shirt.
He acted like he did when he opened it. He even put it on right away. When he wore it to the store, we thought for sure he really liked it.
It wasn’t until years later that he told us his side of the story. He wore it to the store, forgettiing he had it on, and after that he went into the bar across the street where all his buddies hung out. Boy did they razz him for that. He says now that they sung to him and made fun of him for a long tiem afterwards.I know that was a long time ago, but certain family funnies never die, they only get funnier as time goes on.
I have been trying to write down our family funnies, and every once in a while, my kids ask me to read one about them. It is a nice way to help keep the good memories alive, and will help the whole family remember the fun and funny times.
