>>HE MAKES ME LAUGH

Curtis is funny. It's just who he is. And I love that about Curtis. He makes me laugh every day.

I've already told you about the time he made me hold hands with his mom...and the time he made me feel inappropriate for laughing when his dad farted... but there are a few more funny stories I want to share...and since I LOVE talking about Curtis more than anything else...here they are.

One time Curtis bought a pack of new razors for his electric razor. They were packed in that really hard plastic that you have to cut open with a knife or scissors. While doing so, he cut his hand on the hard plastic. So, what did he do?? He called the company. He asked them if there was any other way they could package their razors because they are too hard to open and that he cut himself on the hard plastic. They apologized for the inconvenience and sent him some free razors. Score! However, they still continue to package the razors in the hard plastic.

Here's another one... The other night we were getting ready to cook spinach ravioli pasta. The instructions said to boil pasta in 4 quarts of boiling water.

"4 quarts?? That's a lot. I think that is 16 cups of water," I said to Curtis.

"I'll figure this out," he assured me.

So, what does he do? He calls the company. The conversation went something like this...

company: hello, this is so-and-so from so-and-so.

Curtis: hi, I have a question about your spinach ravioli pasta.

company: ok, what can I help you with.

Curtis: It says on the package to boil in 4 quarts of water. How many cups is that?

company: ummm, just a minute. [puts Curtis on hold for a couple of minutes] That is 16 cups of water.

Curtis: 16 cups? That's a lot. Do I have to use 16 cups of water because I don't have a pan that big?

company: No, that is just the recommended amount for optimal taste.

Curtis: ok, so it's okay if I use less water then?

company: yep. Do you have any other questions?

Curtis: nope, that's it.

company: ok, would you like me to send you some coupons for our spinach ravioli pasta?

Curtis: sure!

Score, again!!


And another one... One time Curtis got a call from a telemarketer trying to sell him some internet package. Curtis kept asking questions like...

"does your internet package come with google cause the one I have now does and I really like google?"

and

"well, my internet has email. Does your internet package come with email?"

It was so funny. The nice Indian man on the other end was getting so annoyed with all of Curtis' questions and it was SO FUNNY to hear him try to explain to Curtis what the internet is and does. Curtis ended up laughing too hard and had to hang up.

And here's one more... This is another telemarketer call. A guy calls trying to sell Curtis a cable package. The guy explained to Curtis that it comes with over 40 channels (or something like that). Curtis asked which channels it comes with.

The guy in his thick Indian accent replies, "you want me to tell you every channel?"

Curtis: yeah, so I know if it has all the channels I want.

The guy proceeds to name EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL.

[after several minutes of naming over 40 channels]

Curtis: well, I don't think I'm interested. I actually already have cable.

Nice Indian guy: [as you read this, try to read it with you very best Indian accent] Sir, if you already had cable, then why did you have me read you every single channel?"

Curtis: [trying his hardest to hold back his laugh] I just wanted to know what channels you had.


If you know Curtis, I'm sure these stories are a lot funnier to you. He just has this sense of humor that makes me laugh. There are tons more stories I could share, but I'll save those for another time.
