*GASP*
So she decided to finish her story anyway because it was starting to scare people away.
Party of eight?
Have a seat.
Here we go!
Carrot thought Elastic was an amazing woman.
She worked really hard, went to school, and gave birth to SIX of the most polite children on the planet.
"Could I get you anything Carrot Jello?" they'd say.
"Would you like to have my seat Carrot Jello?" they'd exclaim.
And Elastic?
Elastic bought Carrot her very own towel, pillow, and pillow case, and a very nice hot pink "Easter" blanket with a black bunny on it.
Very similar to this one...

Unfortunately, Carrot didn't have enough room to bring that home with her, and
Carrot wanted the Elastic experience.
Carrot wanted to throw papers, eat at Dumass Taco, and homeschool children.
O.k., maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.
So Elastic said, "Carrot, let's go to the mall."
Er...um...okay.
It was a thousand degrees outside anyway.
They shopped.
Oh! How they shopped.
For like...1/2 an hour.
Then the Infidels decided it was too cold, and that they need to "warm up" outside.
Carrot was cooking.
Cooking like the moment she first stepped into Elastics car.
She thought Elastics air conditioning might be broken, so didn't bother to ask if she could turn it on.
Elastic turned to carrot, and noticed a waterfall of sweat forming on Carrots top lip, and said, "Are you hot?"
"Yes" Carrot said meekly.
Elastic laughed, and said she didn't even realize it was hot.
Carrot knew she had a problem.
Anyhoo...
back to the mall...we stepped outside, and I was cooking...
Cooked Carrots? Har har.
(Hey, I never said I was a good storyteller.)
In the distance, Carrot spotted a boat!
Boat! Water! Cool Breezes!
Carrot pushed Elastic and her daughters onto the boat, and squeezed in behind "Captain Moses".
I kid you not.
Okay, maybe there was plenty of room, and I didn't have to squeeze in, but it sounds better.
Carrot quickly positioned herself directly below the air conditioner.
She rubbed her eyes.
She rubbed them again.

(sorry random lady with no face.)
"Ah", she said "The windows are cloudy, not my eyes, silly me!"
Carrot had heard that cloudy windows make the best tours even better!
She was making
Apparently, they wanted to hear was Moses was saying.
Whatever.
After a while, it was apparent to everyone that no one could understand Moses, no matter how rude Carrot was.
It was a bit like those bad drive through window conversations, with and accent thrown in.
A little old lady from the back said, "Are you speaking English??"
I guess Moses wasn't fast enough for her because she also said, "In my day, we went a lot faster than this."
It made Carrot wonder if Moses was just trying to save gas.
After the boat ride, heading out of the mall, Carrot noticed this,

And wondered if Texas was trying to save gas too.
Carrot felt sorry for Texas.
Carrot feels sorry for you. Having to read this.
This is why Carrots should never go on vacation.
Because they feel the need to recount every detail.
Pretty soon, Carrot will be in here talking to the walls.
I hope they want to hear about her vacation.
Later.
Because Carrot is going to bed.

You.are.a.fabulous.storyteller- in my book. I'd rather read your book than mine anyday.
WV= hooss
Er, did you bring that back from Texas?
You are a great story teller. I'm loving this.
The blanket, that you left, the sweet mini infidels, the superwoman Elastic, the heat, Captain Moses, you driving people away with your "conversation"...
More more more!
Don't feel sorry for me! I love vacation stories. Especially since I don't get to experience many for myself :)
One of my most favorite moments of your visit?
When you told my son that you *hate* Stevie Nicks because she's a witch.
My Buster looked like you'd just slapped him as he stutteringly protested "WHAT??!?!? What do you mean you don't like Stevie Nicks??!!!"
I'm a bad mom. I let my kids watch Arthus and listen to witchy music.
Bunnies like Carrots. I thought the blankie would be a good match for you.
Oh well. Maybe I can regift it to the Bishop's daughter who's getting married next month.
You are a great story teller... do go on. It's obvious that couple blew it when they chose Capt. Moses' rendition over yours.
I always have a good laugh when I stop by here. Just wanted to let you know that you're not just talking to the walls.
Heh, heh. Love your stories...and hearing about your vacay!
Now, I know that you are probably voting for someone else on MMB for the best blog June award---but I would appreciate just one tiny vote from you----my amazing Carrot!
So, on over to my blog and read all about it!
Thanks!
Laughing all the way! I love this story, and feel like I was right there with you.
Also, I blinked my eyes a few times when I saw the picture of the window. I thought I needed to put in some eye-drops. Alas, just cloudy windows.
