Another Laugh From Jeffrey

Twenty Five Years Of Laughs
Compliments of my 25 year old son, Jeffrey
Read HERE and HERE for others
One afternoon when Jeffrey was in Kindergarten,
I was greeted at the classroom door by his teacher,
who handed this to me....
With Christie Brinkley making headlines recently,
I was reminded that about 20 years ago,
she was part of daily conversation in our family.
Yes, Jeffrey was in love with Christie Brinkley and
decided to take this Sports Illustrated Issue to class
for the purpose of showing everyone his girlfriend,
as he referred to her for over a year.
With all the sincerity in the world,
Jeffrey asked me to please call Christie Brinkley and invite her over for dinner.
He had every confidence in my ability to make things happen.
With wide-eyed anticipation, he would get in the car after school and ask,
"Did you call her mom? Did you find out her phone number?"
Every day, the answer from me was the same,
"No, I don't have her number and I don't know how to get it."
I was truly at a loss as to how to contact Christie Brinkley
and invite her over for dinner.
(that was pre-Internet, google, etc. days)
I would tell Jeffrey that if I ever figured out how to contact her,
I would invite her to dinner, yet she was a busy person
so she may not be able to attend.
He would tell me that he just knew she would come over for dinner if I asked.
This went back and forth for the remainder of Kindergarten and in to the summer.
I am not certain how or when he stopped asking.
Thankfully, he moved on and found his true soul-mate,
Alison, who is light years better, in every way!
By the way...if you are a Subscriber to Sports Illustrated
and DO NOT want the Swimsuit Issue to enter your home
(it is pornographic) you can request it to NOT be delivered...
we did.
