A couple years ago, we (now much older) kids were doing work in my folks back yard, and I found a bunch of marbles we must have lost way back when (when my siblings were much younger) and I announced that I had found my marbles. So many snarky comments.
Close to thirty years ago, someone gave me two marbles. I’ve been carrying them in my bike bags ever since, to prove to people that I haven’t lost them.
Now, if only I could remember who gave them to me.
A person asked me, “How do you prepare for the stage?” I told her, “Well, it’s like this. You go to diction school. They teach you to fill your mouth with marbles and talk right through the marbles. Each day you take one marble out. When you’ve lost all your marbles…” – Henny Youngman

I lost my huge marble collection after my family moved. Found it again 30 years later when my folks moved again…how’d they get into the attic, Dad?

Consuela is worth more than Barney will ever know.

Oh my! Did you fool me! I thought this was going in a whole different direction! Hilarious twist at the end! Is my face red!
