Funny Stuff

I found I have been inspired by my fellow bloggers recently. So today, I read Alice in Wonderland's blog, and read about falling asleep in work. WHICH reminded me of a funny class story I heard, relating to #10 on "Alice's" list.

My friend told how she had fallen asleep in geography class, while they were watching a film. Her head was on her desk, with her arms wrapping around it (you know what I"m talking about, right?)

Anyhoo, the teacher picked this moment to tap the student on the shoulder. My friend, being as quick as she is, quickly sat up, and said, "Amen." The teacher gasped, and said, "I'm so sorry!" My friend shrugged, and said, "That's OK." The teacher left, and the student proceeded to put her head down on her desk, and fall back asleep.

The Baseball Game



I just thought of another rather funny story. A family friend invited my family (all 6 of us) to go to a baseball game (this was a couple of summers ago). We piled in her wonderful VAN, and headed to downtown to watch our baseball team vs the visiting team. As we were parking, I mentioned how the first time I had gone to watch a baseball game, it was at night, and it was FREEZING. No one had told me to bring a blanket.

At this point in time, the family friend's youngest son, Little Duckling, was getting out of the car in front of me, and I did not see him. So I finished my thought.

"I nearly froze my cheeks off!" He turned around just as I said this, and I could feel myself going bright red.

"NICE." Was his response.

That's not embarrassing at all.

  1. I laughed out loud when I read this! How many of us have fallen asleep at inappropriate times?

    Loved the next post about forgiveness, this is something that we have all felt at times....some presence telling us that everything will be o.k. and the feeling of reassurance.
    Thank you for the shout out!
    Big hugs!
