A few days ago I was having a phone conversation at work. Ever the multi-tasker, I was shuffling papers while I talked. As the conversation was nearing its end, our shop manager, Rob, came into my office carrying a huge bag of baked goods that had been dropped off by one of our favorite clients. Of course I interrupted the conversation to respond to his offer of muffins, cinnamon rolls and other pastries. Despite the fact I was starving, I declined...regrettably, but firmly, declined. Can't be eating massive muffins and expect to see results from all those hours logged at the gym. Besides, swimsuit season is just around the corner.
Then it happened. I returned to my call offering an apology for the interruption. I'm so sorry but Rob just brung muffins... I stopped mid-sentence...held my breath in hopes I wasn't heard...then laughed my butt off!
brung?...
Brung?...
BRUNG?????
Dang, that isn't even a word!
And yes, I did just type "dang". Guess there's no denying where I come from!
Oh, by the way, after my horrifying but humorous slaughtering of the English language, I had a muffin after all. I think my will power went out the window with my ability to speak proper English.
I can't even count the number of times I slaughter the English Language, and why not have a muffin!!! Hope you have a great week! Love, Jess
ReplyDeleteOh how funny.....you make me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all know the correct term is "broughted". :)
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteNothing fixes everything like a good pastry.
Swimsuit season is coming no matter how hard I try to make it stop.
I am thinking that I will develop a blanket/poncho/burka thing to wear to the beach in August. It really is for the public's safety.

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read "brung" I knew where this post was going. Lisa you have a way of making the simplest day to day funny :)
ReplyDeleteFunny!! I make up my own words al the time !! My friends say that the people I work with would be blown away by how I act off work lol! I have to be professional at work, but I'm still very down to earth and very sensitive to my co workers ..but off work Im down right silly lol!
ReplyDeleteAs usual no one can tell a story like you! LOL! I had to go back and read some of your post, Tae Boe...had to have that so long ago, I can not see at night either.
ReplyDeleteBTW...you so deserved that muffin!

ReplyDeleteYou are too funny Lisa! I think "brung" is just fine! I'm still getting used to all the southern slang here in NC, "you'all"; "talk at you later"; I just smile inside everytime I hear something new. And, you totally deserved that muffin! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteLOL! My students use brung constantly! (5th grade) as well as tooken.....yep....tooken.... : )
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I can't count the number of times I have done that!! And to think we made fun of a country farm girl one time for saying "bending backwards over" instead of "bending over backwards"!! Have a great weekend, Lisa!!! Be proud of your roots!!
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMMM I could use a muffin! Blogs make me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI agree muffins make any embarrassing moment better :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are too funny.
ReplyDeletegrr...you're reminding me about swimsuit season and I still have bridal season to get through! LOL! My swimsuit season is even closer than yours because of our honeymoon to FL!! You are so sweet Lisa to think of me and to remember that my wedding is this month...heck its 2 weeks away from today!!! I always love blogging with you and I hope you are doing well. How was your Easter?
ReplyDeleteMuffins are yummy...I just ate a bag of combos...240 calories for 10 little cheese filled goodness treats...bad bride...bad bride! :)
lol - for this post you deserved that muffin. xx
ReplyDeleteDo you know, when I read a post like this I can actually HEAR your accent!!!! I wonder how accurate my imagination is?!!! Glad you had that muffin though...what is the point of all that gym work if it means permanent self denial..& I think Cassie's idea of a beach poncho/kaftan/ burkah could possibly be on the cards for me this summer!!!!!! Have a great day!! xx
