Sis to me: He (my BIL) says you should come over this month.
Me: I was there (Kuala Lumpur) just last month.
Sis: But he is back here now and we could go sightseeing to places further away, unlike last time.
Me: Sigh. sounds good. But, not even a month since I got back. Besides the junior son is coming home.
Sis: Yeah I told him that. Anyways…
(Conversation moves on to other topics of which there is no dearth)
Later in the day when the L & M (that is the Lord & Master to newbies) returns from office, he is apprised of the above exchange of words.
L & M (quite matter-of-factly): Hmm… Please tell her that right now, the tree in our backyard has shed all its leaves, it being autumn.
Me (puzzled): Huh? (Pictures the tamarind tree,ย jack-fruitย tree, neem tree, banana tree, papaya tree et al in the backyard in a leafless state, shakes her head to remove the image and concludes that the L & M has not heard a word of whatโs been said). Tree? What tree?!!
L & M (with a straight face): The money tree.
Me: ๐

I am not surprised. He has taken a cue from Dr.Manmohan Singh ( what he said when there was a hue and cry for increase in petrol prices and prices in general)
I am not surprised. He got a cue from Dr Manmohan ( He said the same thing few months back….Money doesnt grow in trees)
Lol, Maddy. perhaps! ๐
he he he he .. yeah true.. this is what people think of us living in uk, that we have a TREE and we just grab the pounds off them ๐
True. That’s a misconception about anyone working abroad! ๐
Bernie Madoff sends his compliments from gaol along with a brand new scheme for earning money. Um interested?
A new strain of evergreen trees? ๐
The writing was clearly on the wall
that spring will precede the FALL
while you were in KL and having a ball
the “poor’ man had to work hard for it all
I pray that he gets a windfall
but when it comes to humour he stands tall( literally)
He is going to be mighty thrilled that you are praying for him to get a windfall ๐
And that’s apart from the sympathy you have expressed and the compliment! ๐
Good one, Shail!
