Boy, Is My Face Red!

Woman with four children sick and down for the count.

Casserole to the rescue.

Tried and proven recipe calls for a small can of mild green chilis.

Dish returned..

Teen-age son returning dish: "Well, it was quite a bit hotter and spicier than we normally eat?! But, thanks."

HOTTER?!?! SPICIER?!?!?

Quick trip to the pantry...where one more can of supposedly same purchased item of green chilis resided:

Oh, my goodness....DICED JALAPENOS; not only jalapenos, but also HOT!!!!




(You gotta admit, the cans DO look a lot alike.)

Sorry, guys...now the mother of four is REALLY down sick for the count!

Funny, funny story. I chuckle everytime I think about it! And you know what? I bet those jalapenos did that sick momma some good. May have cleaned out her sinuses. Matter of fact I bet right about now she's craving some more of that casserole!

You are a good, good woman. No reason to have a red face. Leave that up to those eatin' the HOT jalapenos.

Oh, how funny! That will be a story that keeps your family laughing for a long long time. And yes, I do agree, the cans look almost identical...I have come home from the store with the jalepenos as well.

It's so HARD....

 for me to go to church and be filled with the spirit and come home and see something that my kids or grandkids have posted on social media....
