Meet Tom and Sally Jones


Somewhere in time between the Flinstones and the Jetsons lived a contemporary family known as the Jones.

Happy Anniversary Sally.
Thanks dear, happy anniversary to you to. What do you say after dinner we get out the wedding video?
That would be great we can snuggle on the couch with some pup corn.
You mean pap corn
No, I don't mean paaap corn (sarcastically) I said pup corn.
Ok, whatever.
(after dinner)
honey where are the video tapes? (Yelling from the bedroom)
In the closet on the right hand side next to the photo albums, behind the shoe box with the cassette tapes in it. (Yelling back) {Heaven forbid he put some effort into it, or move something out of the way, unless it’s slapping him in the face a screaming HERE I AM, RIGHT HERE, LOOK AT ME!!! he can’t find anything}
I don’t see the tay...Oh, here they are, never mind I found them. {If she wasn’t such a pack rat I could be a little less Indiana and a bit more Tom}{Maybe I should have gotten her a storage unit for our anniversary. (looks at paper on table) hefty bags 2 for $5, hmm.
Oh good you found them, put it in.
It’s not the one that says special occasions is it? (sheepishly)
Yah, that’s the one. Why?
No reason, just checking. (Squeamishly)

(Tom pops the tape in, turns the lights off, sits down and picks up the bowl of POP CORN.)
(25 min. later)
T.V. kkkkkkkhhhhhhsssssssss
flick, flick, flick...

Tom,(in that tone his mother used when he was small) what’s wrong with the tape? (A little annoyed)
(Tom shrugs his shoulders with that look that look on his face that says GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.
Why isn’t the tape working Tom? (Now an ear pull away from his grandmother)
T.V. "Im your host Ryan Speakless, and this is American Idol."
You used our wedding tape to record American Idol?
It said special occasions on it. It was "Songs from Sesame Street" week and Constantine sang "Why are there so many songs about rainbows" and if that’s not a special occasion I don’t know what is.
Your going to wish you were somewhere over the rainbow in a second. Didn’t you check the tape?
Of course I checked the tape but in fast forward it looked like one of those cheesy wedding reality shows.
Oh, so now our wedding was cheesy?
That’s not what I said, and its not like I taped over the whole thing.

Nooooo, it’s no big deal just the vows, the ring exchange, and oh yah, our first kiss.
Hey, I’m pretty sure those vows went something like better or worse, stupid and smart, forgive and forget, thou shalt not kill...ish.
I guess we’ll never know now will we? (starts chasing him around the room) But hey, at least you can watch Anwar sing, "Sunny Days". Let me tell you how to get to "not with me " Street, where you will be staying at the hotel sofa. And you might want to grab your blanky out of the closet because it the closest thing to a warm body you’ll be sleeping with tonight.

Kkkkkkhhhhhhhhassssssssssss
Flick, Flick, Flick
T.V. "We now return to the season finale of Gilmore Girls on The WB."

(Sally blushes, and Tom playfully chases her around the room)
the end

I just found out that actually happened to my parents when I was small. Aparantly my dad taped an episode of COPS over their wedding video. I wrote this story before I knew that though.
