***I was speeding trying to beat a light that was about to turn red and a cop coming towards me from the opposite direction was doing the same.  I stopped when I noticed it was a cop at the light, but he flew through it.  If I did what he did, I would have gotten a ticket.  The cop is a VIP, but I am not.  Today’s Friday Email is all about “VIP”.  Have a great weekend!!!***

In some way we are all a VIP (Very Important Person).  You may be a VIP to your spouse, friend, mom, children, sister, brother, or Junior (like Moise and I are).  My friend told me recently she was “people watching.” I said nobody ever watched me and if they did, they would probably change the channel immediately.  I called Moise and then Abby and I started talking and ignoring Moise.  Moise asked me are you talking to me or Abby?  You know Moise Abby is a VIP, and you are not.  She asked me why I didn’t come over.  I told her I had to go see my mom.  She said what about me.  I’ll be there tomorrow, Abby.  Joshua wasn’t happy with me and Moise talking to each other.  He said nobody wants to play with me.  Not true Joshua, you are a VIP just like Abby is.  Junior went to urgent care, and they took him right away, he said.  I said you must be a VIP Junior.  He said yes, he is (and very modest about it apparently). Someone asked Moise for something.  He said to me you must be bragging you did this, that’s why someone is asking me for the same thing?  Moi?  Brag?  Never…unless it’s to take a dig at Moise.  Moise said you know how to do this.  I said everyone knows this Moise.  He said you can get up and show me.  I told him okay after I finish ridiculing you first.  Moise said I will go with you Junior at 4:40. Junior says yeah, it’ll be 5:30, and you’ll still be here.  Moise says no no (he’s serious when he uses more than 1 no) 4:30. I said wow he moved it up from 4:40 to 4:30 Junior. He must be serious.  Junior shakes his head and walks out (I guess you weren’t a VIP worth waiting for Moise).  Junior was saying how some people say they’d rather be on a plane than on a boat, but he disagrees.  Me too, but then what if there were sharks all surrounding the boat?  Those sharks think they are VIPs. Moise said Doctor Joe is still fixing his car but only doing one piece at a time.  If it needs 200 pieces, that takes a long time to fix.  Don’t rush a VIP mechanic Moise.  Moise said he was cooking in Moise’s kitchen.  Well, a doctor can’t work on an empty stomach, Moise.  Moise was telling us about someone who’s a doctor (a real doctor not like Doctor Joe).  Junior said who is it?  Moise said she’s younger than you are Junior and she’s a doctor (VIP).  I threw in my commentary he’s saying your unsuccessful Junior.  Then I was like I’m sitting here doing timesheets and she’s a doctor.  Moise tried to make it better.  He said Junior you are like the guy who stands behind the big guy.  He said so like a politician, you’re the guy behind who grabs his coat for him or the guy standing behind the celebrity holding the umbrella over their head. I said umm Moise you’re making it worse.  Moise said no that guy knows more usually than the upfront guy.  That is true.  See Junior you’re a VIP (Moise just took the long insulting road to get there).  Now when it comes to doing your timesheet, just remember you are all VIP’s and I need you to do your timesheet.  Please do your timesheet on time today and remember if you want to feel good about yourself don’t ask Moise to try to give you a pep talk.

Have a great weekend
