Funny story hot off the ole press!
My momma and I went shopping together and had lunch about three Fridays ago. It was so nice. We haven’t gotten to do this in some time. We went to a few of our favorite stops, like Sam’s Club and Wengerd’s, and then had lunch at our favorite lunch spot, Maseto’s.
If you have never been to Maseto’s in Old Lycoming, you need to go. Some of the best sandwiches and salads in Williamsport! I’m there practically every Friday getting my usual chicken cheesesteak salad for lunch. I also love their “Variation” sandwich and Turkey Plain and Simple with their tort or broccoli salad. Delicious food and a bunch of great girls and guys who work there. Definitely check it out sometime!
My momma has been wanting new dishes, and when Kenz and I went to Hobby Lobby a few weeks prior, I noticed they had so many nice dishes at 40% off. I told my momma that on our shopping day, we should stop into Hobby Lobby and check out these dishes for her.
That Friday, we put Hobby Lobby on our list, and when we got there, I was all excited to show her these dishes. I picked them up and showed them to her like I was Vanna White.
“What’s nice about these is that they are melanoma, so they don’t chip! My spring dishes are melanoma,” I said.
Momma kept looking around at the different ones. I picked up another set that had strawberries on them. They’re super cute, by the way, but I already have way too many dishes — a set for every season.
I had to control myself, but I did end up buying four new cereal/soup bowls.
I just couldn’t resist, and they matched my spring dishes!! PLUSsssss, they were 40% off, OK? How could I NOT get them? *enter cheesy smile right here*
“Momma, look at these! They have strawberries on them and look like a paper plate, but it’s melanoma!” As I said, tapping on the “melanoma” with my fingernail.
Now, let me just say that this is probably my fourth- or fifth-time saying melanoma.
My momma looks at me, smiles, and says ever so sweetly, “Honey, melanoma is a skin cancer. You mean melamine. You don’t want dishes with a skin disease; that just wouldn’t be good.”
We both just started cracking up and snickering like schoolgirls. I can’t believe I kept calling it melanoma for literally years. I am just all kinds of special folks if you haven’t caught onto that yet. Hahahaha!
We both said we have to do this more often. We just crack up at each other and have so much fun.
On a side note: Momma did get new pretty dishes, but not melanoma — glass ones. Probably a good thing. That “melanoma” can be pretty tricky!
