Ain't No Lemons In It... LMAO!!!

Hi, Everyone!

Before I begin today’s blog, I want to wish a Happy 32^nd Birthday to my godbrother Howie Douglas. Love ya, Howie-D... and make sure Miss Jessica takes you someplace that you truly love!

Today’s blog is so random—or as Ruby and Theo would say, so far off to the left that it’s a shame.

So, yesterday afternoon, Ruby and I were watching this episode of The Simpsons, in which Bart had rallied a group of his fellow Springfield kids to wage war against the neighboring town of Shelbyville for stealing a lemon tree. Ruby didn’t remember this episode too well, so needless to say, I told her how imperative it was that she watched it.

There is a scene in which one Martin Prince of Springfield grabs an innocent Shelbyville child and hems him up against a tree. The irony is delicious because Martin is painted as a timid little nerd, but in this episode, he is anything but. As a matter of fact, Martin demands that the little boy explain where he got the lemons to make his lemonade. The little boy, fearing for his life, immediately pulls out a packet of Country Time lemonade mix, and further explains to Martin: “There’s never been anything remotely close to a lemon in it—I swear!”

And that’s when Ruby and I both fell out laughing!

Just that scene alone is priceless… I mean, the way that little boy pleaded his case with Martin, and went on to tell him that there was not one trace of actual lemon in the mix—oh, and lest I forget, when the little boy explained about the lemonade mix, his little hand was shaking in fear, and it was so bad that you could actually hear the contents of the packet.

About a week before I made my Mississippi debut, I went grocery shopping with Gramma Jewel. We walked past the Country Time lemonade mix, and we just holla’d laughing. I remember Gramma Jewel saying to me: “Tasha, I think you betta leave that where it is—you know ain’t no lemons in it!”

And then we broke out laughing some more.

Well, that’s gonna do it for today’s blog—and I really enjoyed this random silly moment; I think I need to do this more often. In any event, I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow, but until then, remember that there isn’t a trace of lemon in Country Time Lemonade Mix… hahahahaha!

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
