Idle hands are the goose's workshop! LOL
Oh Joe, I feel your pain. My grandmother had one on her porch that she dressed in new garb for every holiday and change of season. She even had a little yellow rain slicker for it when it rained.

Joe,
I guess this means that your plans of moving said Goose are shot to bits because Mommy dearest sent it over.

Hey, Joe
These little vignettes get funnier all the time. You're honing your comedic writing talents with each one. Don't look now, but I think your mom has been reading your blogs...haha... If so, I can see who you inherited your sense of humour from. Hmmm....a concrete omelette next episode?

Hi Joe.....I thought it was a real one dressed up...
I thought the Monster had dressed a live goose on your property...lol.....This, though, is just as funny. How could your sweet mom think that you would enjoy that foul fowl? Even I know you wouldn't appreciate such a gift, and I don't know you except through your funny posts...This was quite entertaining, Joe.

Now, a golden goose - that's quite another matter.

People just don't give me gifts for the home...but I did find two skunks on my porch one night investigating my trash. My skunks stunk worse than your goose.

Haha JoeLove, another winner
I received a small plastic goose once as a Christmas gift - decked out like Santa. I needed a pool table centerpiece, so it found a good home in the basement.
Thanks for the laugh.

JoeLove....
Oh My!! I know haw you feel, I have gifts that I only bring out when I know the person who gave them to me is going to visit. Being a mom myself, I suggest that you find a place on your property where you will not see it all the time and tell you mom how much more you like it there than on the pourch.
Really great read, it is funny!

Dang, Joe!
And then that clumsy Monster tripped over the cute thing, knocking it off the front porch and smashed it all to smithereens.....and you were just heartbroken!

Maybe the real evil goose will fall in love and mellow out a bit. Just a thought.

Not THE goose?
Surely your mother didn't catch the foul tempered fowl and dress it up in a bonnet. Say it ain't so!
As always, hilarious stuff, Joe!

Somehow I just knew you would drive a little red car! The visuals are complete now, I'm happy! I had to laugh about the goose. Perhaps you could give it to one of your interesting neighbours?

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know someone who dresses hers up like a dominitrix (however it's spelled) in black leather. Personally, I like those geese about as much as I like pink flamingo's! I honestly feel sorry for you.
By the way, you owe the Monster and apology for thinking he has such tacky taste.

Joe,
You poor darling, bless you. Times like this must make you wish mom lived 3,000 miles away. I know that would be my first thought. But, still try to remember she was trying to do something nice for you, even if it was not the perfect gift, its the thought that counts, right. How are the puppies doing?
