December Fun

Hello friends,


 Welcome, welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we sometimes like to be very silly. December is a fun month filled with expectation and hope.  We should be light hearted and thankful as the month progresses. What do you think?

Let's be light hearted today and ask some not so serious questions shall we?

1. What is the dumbest  rule you've ever had to follow?

While working for Bell.. they had us filling in a "where are you now" thingy for efficiency junk.   A bell would go off during the day and you had to fill in where you were and what you were doing.     I worte "At the water fountain"  or  "bathroom" for each time.    

 2. What is the weirdest or funniest thing a guest ever did/said in your home?

 Not a guest but me. Long ago a friend was teasing me at dinner mercilessly. There had been an accident on two  different days with hot chocolate spilled on my dresses by my little daughter.  After a bit the teasing got a bit nasty.  I asked her to stop.. it was enough. She said, what are you going to do push food in my face and laughed uproariously.  He husband was kind of sick of her pushing. I loaded my fork with some mashed potatoes and held it in a sort of slingshot fashion. She dared me and I let it fly. Splat right in the face.  Everyone laughed including my friend.  

Years later on Thanksgiving the Famous Anonymous Kid teased me about that incident and said I would never do it again no matter what and stuck her tongue out at me and other daring things. So a fork full of mashed sweet potatoes went winging her way.  I have photos of it and everyone laughed. No one was hurt at all and it was all thought it was funny.   

Again me... my youngest son was being very rude and monkeying around at the table.  I told him if it didn't stop he would end up wearing his soup.  He didn't stop.  He did end up wearing the soup over his head.

3. If you had a warning label what would it say?


4. What is the first thing you must do in  case of a Snoopy/Charlie Brown Apocalypse?  Who is the first person you call for advice when that happens? (Imagine that The characters of Charlie Brown series take over the world! What do you do as your first move? Who would you call for advice on how to live in that world?)

The first person to call for advice would be Lucy of course. Advice is only 5¢ !

The first thing to do is assemble your  assorted snacks for the show!  

Toni would be the one to call for more advice.. she loved Charlie Brown!!

  4. Oh no! Now I don't feel so bad for throwing a fork full of spinach at a girl in the lunchroom at school and ruining her white Ben Casey shirt. (Remember those?). She kept saying ugly things about a boy I liked, so I let her have it. Well, I had to wash her shirt and I got a U in conduct on my report card, which was not a good thing. But I still don't regret doing it. LOL Although looking back, the boy really wasn't all that nice of a boy. LOL. I enjoyed your answers and this was fun. I had to really think about what to say.
