884

                                                         884

                                Ever since the tower of Babel,
                                husbands and wives, parents 
                                and children, have often found 
                                it difficult to communicate
                                positively with one another.

                                Many hot, insulting, degrading, 
                                ego-deflating words have crept
                                unfortunately into our language 
                                causing much family unrest and 
                                discord.

                                Perhaps it would benefit us to change 
                                some of these debasing words into numbers. 
                                For example...

                                "432 up, dear, we don't want to be 731 for dinner."
                                "There you go again, 849, 849, 849."
                                "I am not 849ing. But, you know how much
                                your mother 947 us to be 504."
                                "Listen, that 318 436 247 never has dinner 
                                ready on time."
                                "Maybe so, but I don't think it was
                                necessary for you to refer to her as a 318 436 247."
                                "You're right I simply over-reacted. Please forgive 
                                my 619 language. My mother-in-law is not really a 
                                318 436 247. In fact, she's very sweet and nice."
                                "And, you're very sweet yourself dear. Oh! 884!
                                I just broke a nail."
