Espana Wins!

The World Cup is over. Hooray for a country winning that I've actually visited. See this is how I cheer for teams that I'm not invested in. Spain played the Netherlands. Well, since I've never been to the land of wooden shoes, my apologies to the Dutch. I studied abroad in Espana, so naturally I cheered for them.

My hubby just sent me a things to do list by email. Can you believe it? I'm his personal secretary in the summer. At least after reading the email, I don't feel so bad about robbing the top BLUE sweet tart off of his candy roll. Man, we both love the blue ones. And guess what color was next to smile at him and all his things-to-do ideas, green. I don't know what's wrong with kids in America these days, but how could people like nasty green apple? When I was a kid, it was lime.

Random funny story

So my mom and I were driving to my brother's house in Houston on Friday. We were just chatting away and she said...

M: "See that store right there in that strip mall?"
P: "Yah, why?"
M: "Well the owner of that store is the rudest man in the whole world. And I told him so when I went in there."
P: "You did? What did you say?"
M: "I told him that when his customers come into his store you need to be nice and smile."
P: laughing hysterically "What did he say?"
M: He just nodded, but I kept going..."There are lots of convenient stores around here, but I chose this one. If you're not nice to people, they won't come back. That's why you need to be nice and smile."

The best part is there was a man behind her in line. She turns around and asks him, "Am I right?"

lol..the man nods and says "you're right" (Like he would disagree with a crazy lady.)

M: "I'm tired of holding back what I think. I'm just going to tell people how it is these days."

(Ummm just for clarification reasons, I have never known my mother to "hold back" what she was thinking. She's been telling people "how it is" since before I was born.)

Which is all the reason why we love her. You like it after the fact she's telling people how it is. Not when you're standing next to her. Ahhh bad flashbacks to those painful adolescent years.

The rest of the day was this big joke. I would go into a store, and when I came out I'd report back to my mom...

Me: "The sales clerk was nice AND they smiled."
Mom: "Good, they should!"

I wanted to test her and say, "Mom they weren't nice AND they didn't smile at me." I bet she would fire in their like a storm to tell them the two rules of keeping customers away from similar stores, but in fear she'd grab me by the arm to witness her "not holding back," I just said they abided by the two commandments of friendly customer service.
