Blush-Hour Reports

A nearsighted friend of mine who hated to wear her glasses went to a party without them. She started talking to an attractive man in the buffet line and tried her best to appear charming and sophisticated. It worked until she put her hand into the ‘popcorn’ bowl and came up with mashed potatoes. Contributed by Rosemary P. Neal

My daughter and her husband, Jim, left their pre-teen daughter alone for a few hours while they went out to dinner. Before leaving, they reminded her to keep the doors locked and not to let anyone know she was alone in the house. The next day my daughter met a friend. “I called you last night,” the woman said, “but your daughter told me you were in the shower. Then I thought I’d give my message to Jim, but I was told he was in the shower too.” Contributed by Stella R. McDaris
