Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.

AN ORDER THAT WAS NOT ON THE MENU


Okay, here's one from my collection of "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" that I just cannot resist passing on.  Maybe I should not repeat it, but I think that it is innocent, cute and funny.

No doubt that we have all experienced our kids coming home from school with shockingly increased vocabularies gleaned from the playground.  Rosanne's by  then 11-year-old son Bob, gregarious and  impressionable, was no exception.

One evening Rosanne took Bob to a restaurant for his all-time favorite hamburger and chips.  A friendly young waitress took Rosanne's order first and then turned her attention to Bob.  "What would you like, young man?" she asked.

Sitting with a far-away look in his eyes and uncharacteristically, Bob did not respond to the question.  "Go ahead Bob, tell the nice waitress what you want," Rosanne encourage him.

After a long, pensive pause Bob finally spoke.  "Okay, could I have sex please?"


Neither a mortified Rosanne or the crimson-faced waitress knew where to look.

Collecting her composure, and not taking her eyes off the order pad, the waitress replied:  "Sorry, that's not on the menu."
