Lady with the Poinsettia
A few days ago Diana, my wonderful wife of 46 years, and I were walking in the park. It was rare opportunity to get outdoors after all the rainy and cold weather here in Indiana.
This particular evening there was a fine mist, reminded me a lot of my time in England, so we strolled around the park with an umbrella. I love these walks because we really have a change to get outdoors, enjoy the fresh air and chat as well as get the blood flowing.
As we were approaching a person jogging with her dog, Diana asked “Is that the German woman with her poinsettia?”
Well, of course, I am dumbstruck. I have no idea what she is talking about. She tells me that she sees this German lady in the park quite often and has even stopped to chat with her. That is fine, but I still don’t see where the POINSETTIA comes in.
Then, it is explained to me that it is the dog! Oh, I say “you mean the Doberman Pincher!” But why poinsettia? Oh, the lady had bright red hair!
We both had a wonder laugh about this conversation. I share this with you not to laugh at Diana but in hopes that you will find the humor in it as well.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
