Okay, as I said before, life is funny. Really. I know, sometimes it may not seem that way, but when you look back you realize just how funny it really was. I have been blessed with friends and family who have wonderful senses of humor. Take my dad for instance. You can’t go anywhere with him and not laugh. He is the kind of person that has something funny to say at the oddest times. For example, when I was in highschool I was in FFA and showed a lamb every year. My dad would spend the week up there with me camping at the fairgrounds. Anyway, you know they have those hotdog-on-a-stick stands? Well, we went to order some and my dad totally confused the girl selling when he asked for a Pepsi on a stick. At the pretzel stand he asked if the that was fly spray the guy was spraying on before he added the salt. I know, it doesn’t seem that funny now but at the time it was.

So, I am going to start off with something my dad did when I was a kid. We had a boat for fishing and it was parked in our driveway. Dad was getting it ready to go out after having been stored for awhile. He discovered a wasp nest inside the boat. Now, don’t ever do what he did. He went and got a can of insect spray, climbed back in the boat, and started spraying the wasp nest. I ask you, What do wasps do when you spray them? Yep, they come after you. That’s exactly what they did to him. Remeber, he is about five or six feet above the ground in a boat. In trying to get away, he got his foot hung up on the side of the boat, fell out, and the can of spray exploded in his hand. This all happened so fast, and being my father’s daughter, I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched the whole thing out the window!

A few years later, when I was in highschool, I was at my grandparents ranch. My cousin gave me an old t-shirt of hers and looking at it, I said that it was too small. My grandpa didn’t believe me, said it wasn’t too small, and got up from his chair. Now I was a 98 pound 14 year old girl. My grandpa was a large barrel chested old cowboy. The shirt in question was a light purple short sleeve with a butterfly on the front. it looked too small for me. Grandpa gene took the shirt, pulled his off and proceeded to put the purple butterfly shirt on. Yes, he got it on, but it was really tight and looked absolutly hysterical on an old cowboy! I wish I had pictures to show you but the only one is in my head.

This incident was rather frightening when it happened but now I can look back at it and laugh, a little. We had an older black Toyota Camry . A friend asked me to drive her into town to the bus station one day. We lived about 20 miles from the town where the bus station is, kind of out in the middle of nowhere. At one point in the trip there is a four way intersection known as four corners. I was driving my friend into town, just coming up to four corners when I noticed a flock of birds. They were sparrows I think, the ones that fly in a big flock and it looks like they are all doing big loops and stuff in the air. Anyway, I saw them and thought nothing of it, they are always around. Going into the turn lane at four corners the entire flock of birds flew down at my car. I literally drove through the flock. There were birds bouncing off the hood, the windshield, the side of the car. If my window had been down, they would have come in the car. I remember looking over at the car going by my and seeing birds bouncing off of them too. It was like The Birds all over again! I called my husband at work and told him what happened. He thought I was exaggerating, until he came home and saw all the dead birds all over the road. Later we went back into town and all the birds were gone. We figure someone picked them up to test them for disease or something because there were close to fifty dead birds on the road.

Where I grew up, we could go down below a dam to fish, hike, whatever. Every time I took a friend down there with me, they would fall in. Still, we had a great time. My dad had a dog named Dusty, we would take her down with us and throw sticks out in the water for her. One day my friend and I were doing just that when Dusty decided she needed to squat in the water. It was her mistake that she squated on top of a crawdad. That crawdad didn’t like that too much and pinched her backside! She yelped so loud it echoed for a while and I ‘ve never seen a dog run so fast!

Have you ever seen those patio chairs that are a wood frame and a piece of fabric with dowels in each end to keep it attached to the frame? Like this one.

We had one of these camping with us when I was in high school. My uncle sat down in it by placeing his hands on the front edge of the chair and lowering himself into it. The dowel that holds the fabric came up as he sat down, pinning his hands to the front of the chair frame and preventing him from getting up again. The weight of his whole body was pulling the dowel up against his hands. Laughing along with him we helped him out of the chair and he never sat in it again!

My kids are always great for making us laugh as well. Sometimes it is when we get our photos downloaded to the computer that we find something funny. Like this one, my husband had been taking rapid photos of us walking back towards him. He didn’t realize at the time that he had captured this one.
