I shook my head. "Dude, when you enter a sweepstake, you get put on a mailing list. And then you have a lifetime supply of spam."
"But it's worth it," he argued.
"Why?"
"Because if I win, and I'm ever homeless, I'll always have something to eat!"
Before I go, I'd like to thank everyone for all the well-wishes for my recital. It went very well, and the audience was so complimentary and appreciative. It's always nice to play for people like that! Here's a picture from it:
Hi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteGosh, you looked lovely that night. I'm happy to know you brought the house down with your virtuosity. :)
As for Bubba, he's a smart kid who likes to plan ahead. Win or lose, he comes out on top. If he wins the sweepstakes, he gets a lifetime supply of ice cream. If he loses, he gets a lifetime supply of spam - the canned meat product that has fed generations. He won't go hungry. :)
Enjoy your weekend, dear friend Sherry!
So good to know he won't go hungry.
DeleteSo glad to hear the recital went so well! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteHas your son eaten astronaut ice cream? I don't know that I would want a lifetime supply... Of course, if zombies ever take over the world- or something like that- he would have food. lol

He has eaten astronaut ice cream. So, I can't understand why in the world he'd want a lifetime supply of it!
DeleteLovely story Sherry and I am so pleased your recital went well. You looked great in the photo. Enjoy your week-end.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks, Yvonne.
DeleteWell at least he is thinking ahead, now he just has to win.
ReplyDeleteAwesome that the recital went well.
I don't think he won. So I guess he has to be happy with a lifetime supply of SPAM.
DeleteYou look lovely, Sherry. Glad the recital went well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan.
DeleteThat child is planning ahead for all contingencies! You look lovely!
ReplyDeletePerspectives at Life & Faith in Caneyhead
Thanks. And yes, the boy is always planning ahead.
DeleteGlad the recital went well. Did you tell him that astronaut ice cream is awful stuff?
ReplyDeleteHe's had it before. He should know.
DeleteWell, that's planning ahead at least. Is that ice cream that can be eaten in space? Congrats on the recital!
ReplyDeleteYes. It's dehydrated ice cream. Not very tasty.
DeleteCongrats on your recital.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue what astronaut ice cream is. Never heard of it. :)
You might find some at a Natural History Museum.
DeleteYou look wonderful. Must be that lovely music you made. Congratulations on your recital and on your son!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI used to sell astronaut ice cream at a novelty store I used to own. It wasn't the best stuff in the world, and it wasn't the worst. But if you taste it once you probably don't feel the need to have any more. It might be fun to pass out to friends, but it's not worth the spam.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteYour son is thinking ahead but I don't think he'll have to worry about being homeless.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope not!
Deletedo we know anyone who really got lifetime supplies of something? How cool would that be?
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone. But if someone did, it had better be something they enjoy.
DeleteIf I had to live off astronaut ice cream, I don't think I'd last very long. Now if it were Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie, on the other hand, that might be worth all the spam!
ReplyDeleteY is for the Yellowstone Conspiracy
Haha! Ben and Jerry's ice cream is pretty good!
DeleteI don't like ice cream. Your son can have my lifetime supply if I ever win :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he'd be thrilled to know that.
DeleteHe does have a plan for future :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome about your recital!
He's always thinking ahead.
DeleteSo wonderful about your recital. Lovely photo. And Bubba is thinking ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. And yes, the boy does think ahead.
DeleteThat's awesome! I hope you celebrated your successful recital with astronaut ice cream. Wine is so overrated.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Should've had astronaut ice cream at the reception!
DeleteI love your son! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in your picture!!! Congrats on such a great recital! Big Hugs!
Thank you!
DeleteThat's a lesson I'm trying to teach my youngest son now. The concept, eh?
ReplyDeleteI think they don't realize how annoying spam is until they get about 300 emails a day.
DeleteLOL, can't argue with logic like that! XD
ReplyDeleteAnd how exciting about the recital! Glad it went so well for you...
Thanks!
