MRS. WONDERFUL, TOO

Turnabout is fair play. I mentioned the sarcastic “Mr. Wonderful” doll Mom gave me last week. Turns out there’s a “Mrs. Wonderful,” too. Coworkers of a friend who works in a large retail operation let her try one last week. She pushed the tummy, and the wife doll said, "Oh, NO, Honey, I don't mind if you don't stop and ask for directions. That's perfectly fine with me."

She laughed, and then, as they knew she would, she put it on the store paging system as a gag. Before Christmas, she had put a little stuffed cow up to the speaker so it could moo “Jingle Bells.”

She thought the wife doll repeated the same line over and over. So she put it next to the device, squeezed it, and it said, loudly, clearly and patiently, "That's right, Honey. I don't mind if you leave the toilet seat up."

Talk about a nonsequitur for the unsuspecting shoppers!

She dropped the doll like a hot potato and snuck away, red-faced and laughing, waiting for the manager to come gunning for her, since she is “the usual suspect” in that work group.

I don’t think she’s incorrigible. I think she’s wonderful. More humor in our workplaces and our marriages: that’s a two-fer we all want.

Prayer request: A friend named Richard goes back to the hand surgeon today. We pray for sufficient healing for him to be able to have the heavy splint off some, and be able to start to do physical therapy that will restore the grip and strength to his hand. Also, Lord, we pray that all infection has been resolved and will not return. (Psalm 118:16)
