Oh...man I asked for it...

For about an hour now, I have been complaining that I can't think about one single thing to post. Something that would get my bloggers cracking up like I did with this post or even something touching and close to my heart like this one. Instead, I made the sad mistake of asking my family's opinion...and I quote (with a little embellishing on my part. Hey, I can do that, I'm related to these people.)



Dad: "Ahhh....Jumpin Jehoshaphat. I don't know what you can write in your blog. I'm afraid I am coming up empty!"



Aaron: "Funny?" Hmmm....(Sigh) ummm... (Rubbing his head) Clicking his tongue like a mother hen... Well....ummm...hmmmm.....



~Ya that was a whole lot of help!~



Mom: Silence (Thinking hard) Can't think of anything funny in my life right now!



~In her life? When was this blog dedicated to her? Self centered I say!~



Carole: How about that time when you were in fourth grade and you congratulated your teacher for expecting a baby. And then have her say"What?" "What are you talking about???" Only to have your best friend who told you the news in chapel, start giggling (like only a fourth a grader would do) and say...."Not Mrs.______ my MOM!"



~Oh, I am not finished with Carole's helpful hints. Just hold on to your seats.~



Carole: Oh, I'll read you a book to inspire you. "This is red. Can you say red?" "RED!! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!" "You know...I think you should write more about John Boy. He is a gifted writer! "In the show!!" I know, I know, but still he is so cute! "He's 60!" I meant then....sigh.... You know Carole, maybe you should go and watch the Walton's (In my Curt voice)



~Fat Chance~



Carole goes over to a red covered strawberry bubble container. "NO...Carole that smells worse than Play Dough!! "Oh, come on Ging the bubbles may help inspire you for your blog..."



~How did she know?~



Me: *Gag* Please Carole, close that up!! *COUGH* *COUGH* Please *Gag*



Carole: Hmmmm...wow this does stink?? Isn't this fun??



Me: GAG it smells like those scented stickers!! Gross!!!



~Back to the Present~



This may be the last time I ask my family for any blogging advice....Yeah...I agree, there is no way I am doing that. I am sure you will read many more posts like this. I am so glad I can have wacko nights like this. Where I can play with words about my family and then read my post to them all and have them laugh with me!!

How Funny! Yes, some days are just like that...there seems to be nothing to write about! But, you were able to take the little funny things of life and make them into an enjoyable post. Now that's talent! :)
Blessings!
