You May Be Book Smart But You Ain't Got No Common Sense

​This husband and I…

Woke up one morning to realize…the water had been shut off…no warning…no heads up…no ability to fill bowls and buckets with which…to flush…which of course…is of a dire necessity…upon rising…headed for breakfast…could wash up in the eatery restroom…have coffee…give the issue time to resolve…

Came back several hours later…still…nothing…the spigots bone dry…nary a trickle…and no word as to how long…this dilemma…could last…chatted with the office lady…they’d set some buckets out…could fill them with water…use that…to flush…

This old gal…in all seriousness…pshawed…and said water…fill it with water…where do we get water…

And once again…had that pizza making big brother of mine been there…he would have uttered those same words uttered to his sister…so many moons ago…sister dear…you may be book smart…but you ain’t got…no common sense…and once again…that sister of his…may just…be proving him…right…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
