When someone tells me they have three beautiful children

[Ron Obvious]

Whenever someone tells me they have three beautiful children or grandchildren, why am I always the only one to ask them how many ugly ones they have? Well, it's important information. It never seems to be appreciated either.

Why is that?

1. I think that you're missing the point.

They mean ALL their children or grandchildren are beautiful.

Your question strikes me as being unkind.

[Ron Obvious]

2. I'm just a hyper-literalist, Peggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. OK. I'll give you that!

6. In the same

boat with you...

I'm also very literal. It's gotten me into trouble a lot.

[whistler162]

4. Yup! Excellent question.

5. just remember

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you love someone, they're beautiful. Period. End of story.

7. I dunno but

I've driven past strip clubs that advertise
35 BEAUTIFUL LADIES
...and 3 ugly ones...


I always thought that was mean but my wife would never let me go in and console the 3.

8. Pretty funny

You know, I'm pretty sure, I have misread your name in the past as original-Greek. I think I even told my long Greek story. And no wonder it was ignored.


I'm sorry.

Phone print is way small.

10. lol! sorry I didn't see that

The only thing Greek about me is a love for Gyros and dolmadas and that layery thing with the pastry and honey and nuts. And the layery thing with the cheese and spinach. And pita. And grilled pita with melted feta cheese. Oh and that chicken soup with the lemon and rice. ANd Lentils! And Moussaka!

good lord I am starving...

12. That honey thing

with pastry and nuts

Baklava.

Or Balaclava.

I always get them confused.

Anyway, I don't even like honey all that much, but those things are awesome.

[OriginalGeek]

13. Every time I eat something with honey in it

I'm surprised by how much I like honey.


In between times I seem to forget.

But those things are the best by far.

9. Well, Flip Wilson had something to say about that...

11. Take my stepdaughters...

please. Seriously, with the way these "adult" women behave, I would gladly boot them out of my life if it weren't for the grandchildren. In fact, if it weren't for worrying about the grandchildren I would have returned to Ohio years ago.
