Ho Ho Holy Crap That's Funny!

So it has been a couple of days since we have posted anything, and for all you faithful prayer warriors we decided that it was time for a little comic relief.   As you can see from the previous picture post, mom got much needed recuperation from rehab and got some serious grandkid therapy this weekend.  Mom has always had such an infectious laugh, but in the past week and a half we have seen a wise-crackin', smile smackin', cheesy grinnin' Gigi emerge.  After years of intense training from Big Ed, she has finally stolen his spotlight.  It is nice to know that when we see what obviously isn't working quite up to par physically yet, clearly Mom still has her Mama Gwen spunk!  So as David Letterman might put it, here is our TOP FIVE WISE CRACKS of the week.........directly from the horse's mouth. 

5.  Referring to the Texas Longhorn nurse, DJ, who's nurses station has a bright orange Texas Flag hanging up which is right in Mom's walking route.  Every time she passes by, she puts her guns up and says "Shuuweee, something stinky over here."

4.  "Do you want these Cherrios, Mom?" "No...... give Daddy...... paid $142 for this!"

3.  Editor's note:  Mom and Dad were high school sweethearts, and this past August they were married for 40 years.  When a new nurse was trying to talk to mom to figure out what her situation was, she asked, "Now Mrs. Corn, how long have you taught Special Ed (since that is what she was doing when this ordeal started) ?"  Without missing a beat she pointed at Dad, and said, "Forty-five years!"

2.  "Well, what do you want first.....chopped ham and gravy OR plain grits?"  Mom said, "NEITHER!"

1.  And the number one wise crack of the week is....  Dad walked into her room and proclaimed, "Whooo!  Mama, there's a strong wind advisory in effect for today!"  Without missing  a beat, Mom cracked, "Maybe for YOU!...HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH!!!!"

We are so glad to hear how well you are doing. We love reading the blog, since it seems like we just don't get around to seeing anyone as much as we want to. We went to Midland yesterday to see Patsy and her family. They said to tell you they were praying for you and your family. Have a blessed and merry Christmas.
We love you, Rex, Connie, and Amy Cumpton
