Sometimes,
you just gotta laugh
at yourself
before the others do.

This happens every day to me,
what about you?

I meant to say something funny
and it came out like
Ms. Butterworth's,
dribbling all over
the edge of the plate,
not at all the way
it was supposed to flow.

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh.

Kacy, I have these days quite often, and most of the time I do laugh at myself.......

working security at the WalMart parking lot (at Christmas time, mind you), I have to laugh every day or it would drive me insane! People are so funny...most of them can't really see it though.

Everyday of my life...but then, I'm easily amused!

The thought of her hands
touching his hair
makes me want to vomit.

teaching my kids the difference between being laughed at, and being laughed with. They do good, cause they have me for an example I laugh at myself a lot, and show them, it's pretty much "life", go with it
really enjoyed this

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, this reminded me so much of that John Mayer song "My Stupid Mouth"! (kiss on cheek) I think we all have days like this, sweet friend, I love this, let Aunt Jemina take care of this, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hehe, thanks everyone.
A good laugh can do more to put a smile on my face than anything from the medicine cabinet. (wranx cabinet possibly excluded)
