I love that woman. The way it seems to roll right off her tongue. I hope I am that witty when I am older. This was a wonderful little piece that left me with a smile.

What a witty retort from Mildred! I admire people who can comeback with such witty answers. Well done, LisaMay. A good bit of humor from an early Monday morning post. Nancy:)

I love your ambiguous post Jenny, language is funny, and for the "sophisticated" non innocent like mine there's probably only one conclusion one can draw from Mildred's stated, but my young grandchildren probably wouldn't, very clever, blessings and good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I love the punch line! The only thing that struck me right away was how you started out saying Mildred was retiring and was in declining years and then you said that the director was grateful for Jane's work so I don't get how Mildred became Jane?!? Am I reading this wrong? Did I miss something?
Anyway, great story with wonderful humor.

ooops! I changed her name at the last minute from Jane to Mildred - a more old-fashioned name - but neglected to change the other places. Thanks for your review and for catching my error.

Always glad to help!
You would do the same for me.

I would indeed.

I knew you would.

I knew the moment I read the word "mounted" the first time that I would see it again as your punchline, you naughty little minx. Still, it was a good read and will make for a fantastic entry in the contest...no doubt, as always, "the one to beat." The picture, of course, seals the deal. Good luck.

Oh my, what a quip! That should have brought a loud guffaw from all the listeners at the farewell party. Good to see you. Don't know if you were just entering contests but haven't seen a post from your for a while. This one has your typical fun sense of humor. Best wishes in the contest!

Thanks for reviewing. I've been crazy busy running art workshops for kids during recent school holidays, so not reviewing or writing much... I'll be writing about it eventually.

💖 Good! Looking forward to it.
