My dad never played the 'pull my finger' gag, but he certainly could have worn the crown 😄

When I told my contractor I didn’t want carpeted steps, he gave me a blank stare.

Every. Single. Year.

@Jeb zone 5, that reminds me of the time some decades ago when DH and I were staying in an old fashioned guest house, which served meals in a dining room. We were waiting for our breakfast when a cat wandered in and sauntered up to our table. I reached down to pat it, and when I stopped the cat reached up one paw to the table and accidentally tipped over my cup of tea, which gushed all over the place. Startled, the cat then took off, leaving me to explain to the waitress who came in with our food that "the cat did it". I'm not convinced she believed me LOL
