On Many Subjects

Famous among several.....

Tisket-A-Tasket

Me: I had a brain-storm.
Brother: That is scary.
Me: Stop it. It is a really cool idea.
Bro: OK. What is it?
Me: I put my yarn balls in the basket that used to have hand towels in it.
Bro: So, what is the brain-storm?
Me: That was it.
Bro: That wasn't a storm. It was more like a brain-pleasant afternoon shower.
Me:....
Bro: It was a brain-drizzle.
Me:....
Bro: It was a brain-sprinkle.
Me: Okay. You made your point. Not a great idea among my many ideas.
Bro: All you did was re-purpose the basket.
Me: I know.
Bro: You took a basket that had fully made towels in it and put in yarn balls which are essentially just long pieces of string in a pre-towel state. It was a giant step-backward for the basket.
Me: But doesn't it look cool?
Bro: It looks like a basket with a bunch of yarn in it.
Me: You have no aesthetic sense.

I must be the same pen-type as half the ...50/50 Chance

I love it when I find a new way to use something I already own that makes it feel brand new. Kudos to you for doing the same! smile

I understand, Moon. I was married once and now I have the dubious pleasure of living with (on a roommate basis) another man--my borther. Can't seem to get away from the gender, no matter what I do. lol

Hey Mick! You make a good point. Actually in my brother's case, I would have to fill it with computer components or fishing tackle.
