Stuck On You

I received this text message from my sister today… Sis: Mom super glued her hands together Me: What? Sis: I have no words… Wait…what? Mom glued her hands together? How can you have no words for that? So I called my mom. Yep, she had indeed been using super glue, and no she hadn’t glued her hands together…just her fingers. (This is the part were I started laughing hysterically and couldn’t stop!) At that moment she was at the Walmart buying Goof Off to help unstick her fingers. Bewildered by the whole situation I asked her WHY she was using super glue (she had to glue an ornament back together) and has this ever happened before (Yes, yesterday!) The next thing I know she's letting out a string of cusswords. (That’s the part where she was pouring the Goof Off on her hands.) It didn’t work right away so she poured more on. Not once, not twice but 4 times! I really tried to feign some sympathy for the old lady, but honestly I couldn’t stop laughing.. Plus I had a plane to catch so she was on her own. Later I got a phone call from my dad. Apparently mom’s hands turned really white and started peeling. When dad asked her if she read the directions on the Goof Off bottle she said no. (She probably forgot her glasses and couldn’t read the label) Dad Googled it and it said…DO NOT USE ON SKIN! Well too late for that….We joked that if she couldn't use her hands then she really wouldn't be much use to us any more. I mean we only keep her around because she cooks and cleans! (KIDDING!!!)
