Hi Ellie (I can’t say good morning as I am writing this blog
late in the day.)!
I’ve been procrastinating a bit as I have a doozy of a head
cold, which is my excuse for not being able to focus for very long! Anyway, I have two ideas to go with. The first has to do with “connections”
and will take some very deep thought… the second is about nonsensical
giggling. I think I am going to go
with the second idea, as I know it will distract me from my annoying runny nose,
which has been interfering with my “deep level thinking stage” all day! … Or so
I would like to believe! So here goes:
Life Lessons Learned
#29: There is always a time
and a place to be silly!
As always my dear Ellie, it is you who inspires me. After leaving church today your Mommy
and I decided to stop at Pier 1 to do a quick power shopping venture. On the way there, your Mommy was
reminding me of some important ‘happenings’ that I should enter in my blog if I
went with my first idea. One
of her suggestions was a brain-game that the three of us played during our
sleepover (which I will share in my next blog). But the quick mention of the word “cow” from the animal
category in the brain-game triggered another memory for you that was in the
form of a joke. And you asked your
Mommy to repeat it, which was then followed by a whole slew of silly anecdotes
that each of us took turns asking the other. The first one was of course told by your Mommy and went like this:
Mommy: Where do
cows go on date night?
Ellie: The
barn?
Mimi: The
pasture?
Mommy: Nope. The MOOvies!
Ellie and Mimi:
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ellie’s turn.
Ellie: Knock knock.
Mommy and Mimi:
Who’s there?
Ellie: Shut the door!
Mommy, Mimi and Ellie:
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Mimi’s turn.
Mimi: Knock
knock.
Ellie and Mommy: Who’s there?
Mimi: Queen.
Ellie and Mommy: Queen who?
Mimi: Queen the dishes please!
Ellie and Mommy: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ellie’s turn.
Ellie: What am
I… the good witch?
Mommy: I give
up.
Mimi: I give up
too.
Ellie: I’m Glenda!
Mommy, Mimi and Ellie: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Mommy’s Turn.
Mommy: What did the sad ghost say?
Mimi: Waa, Waa?
Ellie: Boo Hoo?
Mommy:
Yeahhhhh…. Ellie you are right!
Mimi and Ellie: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ellie’s turn.
Ellie: Do you
have a frigerator?
Mommy and Mimi:
Yes I do.
Ellie: Is your
frigerator running?
Mommy and Mimi:
Yes it is.
Ellie: Better
catch it!
Mommy, Mimi and Ellie: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Mimi’s Turn.
Mimi: What did
the bird say on Halloween?
Mommy: Chirp,
chirp?
Ellie: I don’t
know.
Mimi: Trick or
Tweet!
Mommy and Ellie: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ellie’s Turn.
Ellie: What am
I… the bad witch?
Mommy: Glenda?
Ellie: Nope.
Mimi: The
wicked witch of the West?
Ellie: pause … pause some more
Ellie: YESSSSS
Mimi… you’re right!
Mommy, Mimi and Ellie: Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ellie… upon
arriving at Pier 1 we thought it best to put these silly jokes on hold while we
shopped, but we quickly resumed them per your request as soon as we got back into
the car. And the more we told, the
sillier they got as we drove home.
The Lesson Learned here? … Nonsensical giggling is not only the best
medicine for distractions of such things like the common cold, but nonsensical
giggling can also start your day out on a perfect note! Thanks El! A dose of you makes my whole day happy even when I am not
feeling my best!
I love you my little Lucille Ball!
Mimi
