The Sunday Funnies
I was watching a show that included a basketball game, and the team made the shot at the buzzer to win the game. "How did they know she was going to make it?" Dorothy asked as the team celebrated and talked about the win. "They didn't know," I answered. As the script continued to discuss the win, she persisted, "But how did the people who wrote the show know that she was going to make that shot?"
Dorothy told me that she was either going to watch more t.v. now, or she wouldn't brush her teeth tomorrow. "You're not allowed to threaten me," I reminded her. "It's not exactly a threat, it's a choice," she said.
Out of the blue, Dorothy asked me, "Is money terrible?" I wondered where she was getting this idea. "No," I said. "I mean, can you tear it?" she clarified

The Sunday Funnies
We discussed something that led me to say, "Patience pays off!" "That book The Eleventh Hour said something like that," Dorothy responded thoughtfully. "It said 'Patience pays off?'" I asked. "No," she explained, "it said, 'Those who choose the longer road shall reap their reward!'"
Dorothy saw a coffee shop called The Daily Grind and asked what that meant. Grace said, "You grind your coffee beans. It's also a pun. Do you know what a pun is?" "Yes," Dorothy quickly answered, "and what is the other meaning of grind that makes it funny?"
We got-together with family friends that we haven't seen in over a year. Dorothy sidelined me and asked, "Why does it seem like all these people know me?"
