How I Met Your Father

Not That Mike The Other Mike

“Oh, heavens, that was so long ago. I remember that mother and father would take us south for winter by the lake, and your father worked at the boat docks. He would always smile at me, and mummy and daddy would rush me past him because they thought him common.

“Well, one night, I was trying to catch this one moth that was fluttering by the porch light, and getting absolutely nowhere. I was about to give up when from behind me came the ZAP of a long, sticky tongue, and the moth dropped right at my feet. I turned, and there he was — my champion. And that’s when I knew.”

“Damn near burnt my tongue, but it was worth it.”

They look so happy, Sharon H. (via Lizards Enjoying Life)

      I met some Lounge Lizards in my younger days… they were easy to spot: smiled like this green one, and wore shirts unbuttoned to the navel, with gold chains decorating their manly chests… 😀

    How a father caught a moth-er.

      ? I just learned a song about a moth – a non-stop nibbling moth – full of similar puns.

    I hope they have that picture in a frame on the piano.

    One for the calendar and/or coffee table book, for sure!!!

    • Duckie ? September 22, 2017 / 11:50 am

      Second the coffee table book!

        • Ricky's Mom September 22, 2017 / 12:43 pm

          Fourth! So perfect in every way.

  9. Hilda September 22, 2017 / 11:40 am

    Please, NTMTOM, make a calendar or coffee table book!

    • Ricky's Mom September 22, 2017 / 12:48 pm

      There is a calendar, Hilda, for 2017. I hope Mike is planning one for 2018. I think the coffee table book would probably be the size of the OED at the rate he’s going. Of course I still want one … 🙂

    Good thing I learned never to scroll down until I’ve read the entire text = twice the fun. This is another one that is just so spot-on. Genius. I’m convinced that that’s exactly their story, and they’re telling it in exactly that same way. Wonderful.

    • Faye September 22, 2017 / 12:46 pm

      I agree! Lovely story.

    That is the most charming lizard photo I’ve ever seen. I do believe they are a happily married couple!

    That lizard blog (link below pic) is charming! Tons of personality, and their hoomins obviously love them very much.
