Dumb Thing

"If they can get a paid holiday for Martin Luther King, why can't we get one for Henry Ford?"

"Yeah, you know, the president who just died."

In Walmart this evening while doing my weekly restocking, I was getting some Woolite off of the top shelf. I had to get up on my toes and stretch a bit to reach it, but I got it. Cody looked at me and said, "Mom, you should let me get the things off the top shelf for you."
