Ten Priceless Memories that Added Cheer to My Life

Magena Fawn
These ten things that added cheer to my life, cost little to nothing and yet they are priceless!

Number One: A wet puppy trying to run on a wood floor after bath-time.

Number Two: The way a baby looks surprised when it has the hiccups.

Number Three: A toddler, in super-hero footie pajamas, with a toilet-paper tail drifting behind him as he exits the potty.

Number Four: When a kitten--high on cat-nip--maniacally jumps from one position to another and ends up hanging by it's paws from a door-knob.

Number Five: Wearing glasses with a fake nose, moustache and slinky eyes while picking up food through the drive-through window.

Number Six: Seeing a really snooty woman at work admiring herself in the restroom mirror and oblivious to the fact that her skirt was tucked into the back of her pantyhose.

Number Seven: Watching a little girl, around the age of four, flirt with Mesei by raising her eyebrows up and down while we were waiting at the hair salon.

Number Eight: Seeing the acrobatic squirrels overcome any obstacle to get to the sunflower seeds in our bird feeders.

Number Nine: When I heard about my friend's mother sneezing a slice of onion out of her nose.

Number Ten: The time I was driving out of the car-port and I yelled to Mesei that the stray dog "Elvis" was in my way. Mesei yelled back, "that's not Elvis". Then I said, "Oh, it is just an impersonator".

    I like #8 and get a kick out of a squirrel's creative mind too.

    I loved number nine. This happened at my daughter's lunch room at school...they said that half the kids were grossed out while the other half laughed till they had to run to the bathroom. My family was once in church when a young child in front of us sneezed and force out a toot! Talk about trying not to laugh. Bitting our tongue didn't even work. My boy who now has his own children, still to this day remembers this and laughs out loud. Funny article and spot on in sincere humourous situtations.

    I really like that #5. As for #9, I once said something funny to a guy who was eating a banana, causing the food to shoot out his nose. At that point, I told him, "I had an uncle we used to call 'banana nose' but it was because of the shape, not the contents inside."
