One daylawhile back week I asked Joe to bring home dinner, when he walked into the house without a bag full of food, I nearly lost my mind.
I pulled a meal out of the freezer and started to thaw it for dinner when I realized that I didn't have any rice. Talk about pulling your hair out. Then it occurred to me if you can borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor why not a cup or two of rice.
I picked up the phone and called my BFF. After complaining about Joe for a bit, I asked her to borrow two cups of rice. We talked for a bit and I wondered why she was slightly confused with my request.
We ended the conversation with me saying, "thanks for the rice" when it finally dawned on her that I was asking for RICE instead of ICE. Could you imagine calling your neighbor and asking her for two cups of ICE to go along with your stuffed green peppers? Yeah, my BFF couldn't either.
After we had a good giggle I sent Joe for the rice and wondered if he would come back with not only the rice but a ice cube tray to boot.
Next time I'll be asking not only for the rocks but the margarita that goes with them....

Too funny! Each of my neighbors has borrowed something from my kitchen at one point or another, and it has seriously never dawned on me to ask for something in return - and I have scratched whole meals because I was out of one spice or an egg!
It seems like your are losing your mind lately. Well, welcome to the club. :)
That's funny. I bet you all had a good laugh over it. LOL
♥ HOW FUNNY!!! Love your stories! :)
Although.....borrowing ice is pretty darn cheap.....:)
