I lived, for now anyway

It was touch and go there for awhile, but I seem to be past the worst.

I went and dug the soup can out of the trash. There was no expiration date on it anywhere... so it must have been from just a few weeks ago, right?

You didn't search far enough. On the lid of the can it said OCT 00. Beth and I tried to get you to throw that stuff out two years ago.

Jack, what are ya thinking? Don't you know to always listen to your mother?!

Your mom and sister told you to throw out old canned food two years ago and you ignored them and then chose to eat it TWO YEARS later??!!! What are ya thinking? Someone should give you a light thump on the head, Jack!

What is up with hoarding old food anyway? What else are you hoarding? Now, don't start going all "Howard Hughes" on us!

By the way, why was that can in "the trash"? Don't you recycle? Jeepers, Jack. Another light thump on the head. "Why I oughtta..."

finally getting around to replying to this. Jo Ann said, "Jack, what are ya thinking? Don't you know to always listen to your mother?! ... Your mom and sister told you to throw out old canned food two years ago and you ignored them..."

The thing is, I always try to do what my mom says, but having my sister also say it, more than cancelled my mom.

Ha! I understand that. I mean, she was right, of course! But I understand what you mean... sibling dynamics and all.
