Random light and funny things

Yesterday was just a funny day. It just seemed like it kept getting better. So, here's the top six funny things that happened to me yesterday:

1. I talked to one of the wittiest coolest literary geniuses of our time who I'm proud to call family today. It's always a joy, sir. Always a joy. Check out his greatness at: www.brainsalve.blogspot.com

2. My kids insisted on helping bring in the groceries. For my control-freakness, this was hard to let happen. But even when they were lugging the gallons of milk in moaning, "Oy" because it was heavy, it was pretty cute. And even when they dropped it, it was just cute. That's probably because it didn't spill or break upon landing. Had that happened, it definitely not have been funny and my control-freak issues would have been validated.

3. Yesterday, I'm walking into the gym with my kids, and we get behind an elder with a cane. Some guy is holding the door for him. Clearly, they are not together. The guy was just being nice. So, we patiently waited, and as soon as the elder with cane hobbled in and cleared the door, other nice guy let go, allowing the door to shut on my very able-to-open-a-door self. It's not like we were that odd pace from the door or something. The guy had a cane. We had time to catch up and snag a door opening for us. The funny thing about that is that when you're pregnant, this never happens. People will stop their cars and come running to hold a door open for you. They'll let you have the good parking spot. But once those kids are out, which, by the way is when you actually NEED the assistance, you're on your own. Odd, and funny.

4. Max: Mom will we go to college?
Me: Yes you most certainly will.
Max: Will we have to go by ourselves or will you drive us?
Me: I'm sure you'll drive yourselves.
Lucy: But Mom, I don't know where college is to drive there.
Me: I'm guessing we have time to figure it out and get you a map, honey.
Max: I want to drive a race car to college!
Lucy: I want to have a police car!
Me: I'm sure you'll get your wish about the police car and college, honey.
Lucy: Yay!

5. As noted in the previous post, the "health club" sells tequila, beer, rum, vodka, cokes (diet and regular), as well as rice crispie treats, M&M's, and snickers bars. I'm fairly sure there are donuts and cookies too. Clearly, these people have no clue the type of no-will person they are dealing with.

6. Ricardo went to a bachelor party the other day.

Me: Did you go to the casinos or a strip club?
Ricardo: Neither. We went to Hooters.
Me: Well, atleast they have good wings there!
Ricardo: Yeah, I jacked them up.
Me: Sounds good.
Ricardo: Our waitress was 8 1/2 months pregnant.

For a wife, that's the best possible bachelor party a husband could ever go to.

That's how I roll.
