" THEY'LL DO ANYTHING NOT TO PAY ME "

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!  MIKE AND HIS LOTTO TICKETS.  LAST NIGHT I TRIED AND I TRIED TO GET HIM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NUMBERS ON THE LOTTO CARD ARE THE ONES HE PICKED TO WIN, AND THAT'S WHY THE LOTTO TICKET HE GOT WILL HAVE THE SAME NUMBERS.  HE THINKS HE WON, AND THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY HIM.  AFTER A WHILE, I COULD SEE I WAS GETTING NO WHERE (NIGHT TIME IS THE WORST FOR HIM TO COMPREHEND ANYTHING), SO I SAID, HONEY JUST PUT IT AWAY FOR NOW, AND I WILL SHOW YOU IN THE MORNING WHEN THE PAPER COMES.  I THOUGH HE WOULD GET IT BETTER IN THE AM, BUT TO MY SURPRISE, AFTER DOING MY BEST TO EXPLAIN IT, HE STILL THINKS HE WON.  NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE FOUND AN OLDER CARD AND TICKET AN HE SAID "SEE, I WON HERE TOO"!!!  I SIMPLY CAN'T WIN.  I WILL NOW HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO PUBLIX AND LET THE CASHIER TRY AND EXPLAIN WHY WHEN SHE PUTS THE TICKETS IN THE MACHINE IT WILL SAY "NOT A WINNER".  I WISH HER OR HIM WELL!!!  THEN YESTERDAY WE WERE IN THE CAR GOING TO PUBLIX, WHEN MIKE SPOTTED A SATURN.  HE IS NOW IN THE HABIT OF NAMING CARS AS THEY GO BY ALSO READING EVERY STORE SIGN-ANYTHING TO DISTRACT ME.  ANY HOW, HE COMES UP WITH " WHO DO I KNOW THAT HAD A SATURN"?  THAT WAS SORT OF FUNNY, AS I PERSONALLY OWNED AT LEAST THREE, AND A FRIEND OF OURS WHO COMES OVER REGULARLY  ALSO HAD A SATURN UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. BTW, MIKE STILL THINKS THAT THE FLOWERS BY THE OLDER WOMAN HIT BY A HIT AN RUN DRIVER ARE REAL!!  I'M KINDA GLAD HE FORGOT WHAT I TOLD HIM ABOUT THAT.  WELL, THAT'S IT FOR ME TODAY-HOPE YOUR DAY WILL TURN OUT WONDERFULLY!!  JUST ME
