I say tomaahto, you say tomayto... let's call it Tommy instead.
He's been amusing us for the last ten minutes. (We're easily amused.)
Tommy grew an appendage in the fridge overnight – at least no one claims to have noticed before and he's already been washed… so we took the bad look off him by giving him eyes and a smile.
Otherwise, the poor chap might have had a very red face…..
LOL! You bring Tommy to bookclub tonight and I'll introduce him to the two heart-shaped potatoes my mum presented to my kids this week.
ReplyDeleteAli,
ReplyDeletevery "saucy". And if they got on... we could be in a pickle.....(spud-u-like?) Ouch! Dodgy vegetables - baaad jokes.
So in Ireland do y'all play tommy tomato? I love teaching all the children I know how to play the game and parents, they are not that happy with me. Love it, but then I am easily amused.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I love it
ReplyDeleteOh by the way - I worked out how to tag people...so you are also tagged!! (soooo good to be in touch again!)
ReplyDeleteNancy! I didn't know it was a regular game. Yee ha... I'll never look at vegetables the same way again. (You are serious right?!)
ReplyDeleteLaura, Danish veg all routine?
Oh yes mam, I am serious. Use small cherry size tomatoes. You make a cut through the middle, but not all the way through it. You take whatever sauce is around or dressing and make eye dots.
ReplyDeleteYou hold Tommy over the plate and say in your best high pitched voice,
hello, I am Tommy Tomatoes and I don't feel so good. You proceed to squash the little tomato and all the insides come flying out. then say, there I feel better.
You can make this game as dramatic or silly as you want. This game is usually learned at summer camp. Baptists come up with some of the silliest games, but sure to please. My legacy is to pass it on.
Oh joy Nancy, that one I'll try out! Excellent stuff. Thankyou. (I don't have to convert to being a Baptist to try it out do I?)
ReplyDeleteNow you know my kids would have put that tomato up the other way and made his nose into something totally different. sometimes I sware my family is worse than the simpsons.
ReplyDeleteConverting is not required to play tommy tomato. It is just loads of fun when meal time is boring.
ReplyDeleteYou probably know how to make a worm from a straw wrapper, right?
I am so easily entertained.
Nancy, I love this thread. Tell me how to make a worm from a straw wrapper! (And any similiar tricks!)
ReplyDeleteJust to let you all know, Tommy's appendage has drooped :-(
ReplyDelete(he has been living 'chez nous' since bookclub on Wednesday night)
Ali, I suspect performance anxiety. It's hard living up to expectations sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThat is stinking hilarious! (The comments are just as funny!!) Poor Tommy!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I've never played Tommy the Tomato and I'm Baptist. Well, I work and worship at a Baptist church...so one would think one would know these sorts of games. I do know about the straw worm (I have kids)...
