I've had so much fun reading this thread...and laughing so hard my sides hurt!
When my kids were small and I'd ask them to do something, their response would be "Just a minute..." adn after so many times, mine would be "Just a minute, my foot!" Well, one day, my second DD turned the tables on me after I said the same thing when she asked for something..."Just a minute, my foot!" I couldn't get angry with her...I laughed so hard at myself...and was careful to be more patient.
On another note, my beloved late FIL, when he retired from the farm, had a nice 2 bedroom condom in the town he moved to. He was a dear man.
