Mable prided herself in keeping her 1950s pink tiled bathroom in pristine shape. Living in Florida, Mable had to keep up with her bathroom cleaning otherwise mold would start to grow in the grout lines. She was down on her hands and knees scrubbing the tile.
All of a sudden, out of the corner of her eye coming around the slightly ajar door, Mable spied a big foot, a big alligator foot. In her mind she was thinking he must have come in through the screen door. She was also wondering what she would do; she could just imagine the massive size of the alligator in the hallway.
We're finally getting some rain, and lots of it. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
I just told Gary this story and his rendition is:
ReplyDelete"Mable screamed and peed her pants and now she has even more to clean up. The only reason the alligator came in the house was to feed on Mable's poodle, Fifi".
LOL. Love this. Both versions. And that tile is so cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about pink bathroom tile? I still Love those bathrooms where the tile remains in beautiful shape.
i like Gary's ending, too funny!
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me thinking of different endings for this story. If I think of a good one I'll post it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to get some rain here in Atlanta too, I wish Texas got some also.
Funny story and very cool piece. I guess the take-away is "always close the bathroom door".
ReplyDelete(Sounds like good advice on several levels!) :8^)
From a tense version to a funny one. Good job you two.
ReplyDeleteSure don't miss those lovely creatures. Too cold in the mountains for them.
love the fish but not in love with alligators- maybe if you cover him with lemon slices I would like him better!
ReplyDeleteYAY Rain!
Hi Teresa, thanks, yeah the pink tile and the turquoise tile too, they all look so cool I think.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, Gary always thinks a little outside the norm. Ha.
Hi Lori, thanks, we got over 4 inches of rain; I too wish Texas would get some.
Hi John, thanks, I can't wait to tell Gary what you said about closing the bathroom door, Ha.
Hi Patti, thanks, we aren't close enough to any water here for them to be close, but I still think about them obviously since I thought of this piece to make. Ha.
Hi Meredith, thanks, we can get fresh alligator to cook around her but I have yet to get it, but I bet one of the recipes calles for lemon squeezed over the top, kind of like frog legs I guess.
I haven't tasted alligator but I have tasted crocodile. It was a bit like fishy chicken! I'm glad we are too far south to be worried about crocs. Love the retro pink tiles and the story :^)
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, thanks, I think that crocodiles are more dangerous than alligators, more aggressive to people, I've had alligator a few years ago but haven't tried it here yet. I just read that in the Philippines they killed a 20 ft, 2000 pound crocodile, oh my and now they think there is another one lurking. Now that's a big foot. Ha.
ReplyDeleteAloha! Nice blog you have! My son-in-law does sandblasted etched glassware as a side business. I bought a Maori platter from him last year, which has received a lot of praise for its beautiful design. I'll visit your blog daily, because I think it is unique.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks and aloha, sandblasted glassware how unique, we once had a window sandblased with a design and loved it. Thanks for visiting so glad you like my blog.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add... your cats are all wonderful! We used to have four, but since last year now, only two.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, thanks, two of mine are over ten years old the yellow tabby is the youngest and he adopted us. they all have their own personalities, don't they.
