Tom Cruise and Egg Rolls

"Hey, Haverly, where are you going? You've got a class with Tom Cruise right now." At 4:15 pm, Scott had been hurrying toward the door when reminded he wasn't finished for the day. He walked into the classroom with other students who were nameless, faceless and ageless. He moved easily for a disabled man of 67. He sat down at a long table with actor Tom Cruise.
    
Tom flicked an egg, as easily as shooting a marble, toward the opposite end of the table. Low and behold, the egg rolled back to him without assistance at the other end! It was now Scott's turn to flick the egg. He did so with ease, but on its return the egg bypassed him and fell with a splat, right on Tom's amplifier, covering it with yolk and eggshell.

"That's a $900 amplifier, Haverly," Tom informed Scott. "I owe Tom Cruise $900!" Scott announced first thing this morning.      "You what?" I replied. "I owe Tom Cruise $900 and I was just about to tell him he could buy a dozen amplifiers and that he didn't need my money, when I woke up. Now what am I going to do?" Honey Haverly said with a grin.

These are the kind of dreams Scott has almost every time he goes to sleep. I swear his brain synapses are wired very differently. How else would you explain his flying dreams in which he uses a wrung out washcloth to steer his body through the air!

We'll celebrate our 17th anniversary on Tuesday, September 6th, and the man still continues to amaze me! Do you know anyone else whose husband rolls eggs with Tom Cruise??? BonnieKingPhotography.com
