IF I WERE...
If I were a stand-up comedian getting my monologue materials in some sort of usable form for the next show, I would read and re-read...tell and re-tell these stories until they were each imbued with the juice of my so-called style seem “lanky and lazy”.
I learned long ago not to be in too much of a hurry. People need time to get unhooked from the bustle of living. I like to allow folks of all ages to sorta be aware of shedding serious aspects of living today so we can tease each other about that which we seem, at times,to be.
“Hi. Andy.- The worry wart. Have you been trying to keep up with all the complaining lately?
People actually plan nasty things. The little boy next door was praying and his father happened to overhear him: ”Dear Jesus baby, the boy intoned. Thanks for forgiving me for all the naughty things I did today and also thank you,too,for all the things I have planned to tomorrow.”
The apartment in which I live gets mighty cold these nights. Every time I open the front door the light comes on!
Some kids are hard to please,too. My friend ask his son:”What do you think of your new baby sister?”
“O.K" he said. “She's O.K. I suppose,but there are sure a heck of a lot of things we needed worse.”
And we are not always fully appreciate our kid's amazing sense of inventiveness and and analytical skills. The Security Man in a large department store saw a small girl kneeling to close to the mechanism driving an escalator. She was examining each new step as it appeared. He rushed to her side saying: “Is anything wrong?”
“Not exactly, she said without looking up: “I dropped my bubble gum and I'm just waiting for it to come back!”
Kids are truthful today ,too! A boy was applying for new job applying for a job and one of the questions he was asked read: “Length of residence at present address”.It stumped him for a moment,but he a moment passed and he confidently wrote down the answer: “About thirty-five feet, not counting the garage.”
