Smarter

In my new job, I have to get my body out of bed about 3:00 a.m. every day and, frankly, my circadian rhythms are struggling to make that work for me. I am plum tuckered out.

So, my apologies, but just the joke today. I gotta go take a nap!

"Oh, I can't believe it!" I exclaimed in complaint to my husband. "This is just rosemary extract!"

"So?" he said.

"So I can't believe I paid so much for something that's growing wild all over the backyard!"

"See?" he intoned. "You're smarter already."
