so, as i've stated, the mosquitoes here have been hellishly awful. every time t.willie and i would go outside, we'd both end up with numerous bites. t.ws' were most impressive because they would turn red and swell up to giant-size. to help with the itching, i would apply witch hazel.
one day recently, t.w. and i were in the bathroom dabbing at our bites when we had this conversation:
he: "what that stuff is gammie?"
me: "witch hazel."
he: "right there."
me: "witch hazel."
he: "which one?"
me (catching on): "this one right here?" pointing to the bottle
he: "yeah, gammie, what's that?"
me: "witch hazel."
he: "gammie! gammie! that one right there!?"
me (laughing very much): "wiiiiiiiitch haaaaaazel!"
he: "which one?"
me (holding up the bottle): "this is called witch hazel. get it?"
he: "what gammie? hazel?"
me (just laughing..........)
it was just like an abbott & costello "who's on first" skit-oh, the fun and merriment! you had to be there.
grateful:
1. for the laughter
2. that mosquito madness will be over soon
3. for my ole pal, hazel
Which one??
