World got you down?
Try a little humor with chocolate - it sure works for me
I see life as a funny experience because if I didn't, I'd never go outside. I'm clumsy. I laugh at the wrong time in movies. I lose things. And forget things. I show up on the wrong day for events. And say stupid stuff. Let's face it, I'm a buffoon.
Once at a large gathering of fashionable women, I took a little potty break and the back of my wrap-around skirt fell in the toilet. Does that ever happen to anyone else? Of course not. I have tripped over a 9 pound dog and fell splat on the sidewalk.
My words get tripped up, too. At back to school night, my daughter's teacher told the parents she liked to give lots of little quizzes -- "I call them 'quizzicals,'" she said. I piped up and said, "So what do you call your tests?"
When I get down, I don't take pills. I read a little Dave Barry or watch a funny movie. And eat chocolate! If you eat an M&M with a Good N Plenty, it will put you in a good mood 9 times out of 10. That other time you might have to resort to small bites of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that you let slow melt in your mouth. For really serious cases, go with an Almond Joy taken in small nibbles.
I've
written some humorous articles off to the left there, and I'll put fresh stuff on the blog (at the bottom of the list). My goal is one blog entry a day for a whole year. I call this "gentle humor" because it's amusing without being too tacky. That doesn't mean I've avoided topics, and I'm not above crass, bodily function humor, in fact, it's on my favorites list because it always makes me giggle, but there's only so much of that available, and when I write it, I'll try to keep it clean.
Hope you have a laughy day!
