GRACIE MOMENTS

     To understand anything about this blog, you have to know what a "Gracie Moment" is.   Many, many, many years ago, just after the Stone Age, there was a Vaudeville Act called Burns and Allen.  The couple was George Burns and Gracie Allen.  Gracie seemed to have a reference point totally out of the mentality of anyone else.  In fact you would probably call her a ditz.

     Well, that kind of describes me (sometimes) when I try to communicate with my husband.  To illustrate, here is the most classic and the first one in our marriage that has set the tone of “this is probably the way things are going to be as long as we are married.”

      I asked my husband to pour me ½ glass of drink.  I held up my glass and my thumb happened to be right in the middle.  He said, “Do you want it to the top half or the bottom half?”      

     I thought that was a very strange question so I said in all seriousness, “You don’t need to worry about that, it only  fills from the bottom up.  He later informed me he meant to the bottom or top of my thumb.
