Saran wrap, we love it. Or, do we? I sometimes wonder if we really do like it.
I witnessed my husband a couple of nights ago trying to use it. We grilled hot dogs and instead of finding the lid to the container, he gets the saran wrap out.
Most men have shorter nails and this can cause frustration when trying to use saran wrap. So, I watched in silence as my husband trys to get his nails under the saran wrap in order to pull it out and cut it off.
After 5 mins, he finally gets ahold of the saran wrap and rips it off. Then, he trys to secure the saran wrap on the top of the container and cannot get it right. So, another 5 mins and he finally gets it secured on top of the container and not stuck to his hands.
It's the little things that can make us laugh.

Multi-Tasking
We have heard it for years. Multi-tasking is the way to go. When you put together a resume or have an interview, you need to mention that you are a multi-tasker.
Well I thought I saw it all, but today I was actually surprised.
While traveling with my family today, we were following an SUV that was going way under the speed limit.
The reason?
The young woman was talking on her cell phone (propped on her left shoulder and being held by her chin) and a hamburger in her right hand (shoving it into her mouth) and trying to steer and turn left in the turn lane.
Geez!!!!!!!
Just when I thought I saw it all. To my disappointment, I am surprised once again. And, a cop was not even a mile away only looking for speeders. Go figure.

License Plates
Well, I know that people can create their own license plate. I believe most of the time people try to be creative or have it be catchy so others read it and it will provide a message.
The other day I saw a license plate that said, FLORGRL. I thought either she is trying to tell everyone that she is a Florist or maybe she is trying to tell everyone she likes floors? That could be open to interpretation.
Anyways, I like the floor one myself. It is much more interesting and more fun to make up stories.

Work Humor
Work is where we spend most of our time during the day. It is quite funny when you work with people that revolve around gossip and drama. It is kind of like high school all over and either you are popular or you are not. Almost like the 90210 TV show, I used to love watching the backstabbing, drama and gossip that happened on that show. Now, I can experience this first hand while at work. I watch people and how they respond to situations and each other. I wonder where am I again? Is this 90210 live?
Humor can be found anywhere you are or go. You just have to look for the humor in it all.

You Might Be a Red Neck
I love Jeff Foxworthy with his funny jokes. I thought of him a few weeks ago when a coworker of mine told me different things she does that I found were quite funny.
You might be a red neck if you use black electric tape to repair the heel of your favorite pumps instead of replacing them.
You might be a red neck if you staple the hem of your pants in order to make them shorter.
You might be a red neck if you use colored electrical tape to fix your belt and change its color.
You might be a red neck if you buy one of those fundraiser candy bars for a buck only to get the Pizza Hut coupon on the back.
I laughed and laughed when I heard these. It just proves that life is short and a little creativity and imagination goes a long way.

Children
When you start having children, many things change in your life. All of a sudden, you do not have any time for yourself anymore.
But, children are truly entertaining and bring great joy!
One afternoon my husband was shopping in the grocery store and pushing our son at the time 3 yrs old in a cart. Our son sees a larger man walking in front of them and yells as loud as he can, "That man's butt is huge daddy." In horror and embaressment my husband says, "Son, that is not nice to say." My husband continues to push the cart and our son continued to yell about this man's big butt. In desparation, my husband is running down the opposite aisle as fast as he can to get away from this man. Just when my husband thought he had this man out of their sight. They saw him again. My husband runs in a panic to get to the checkout lane and get out of the store.
When our son was learning how to talk, we went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. He could not say very many words at that time. He made lots of jibber jabber words and sounds. It was quite cute and entertaining. While we were in the Chinese restaurant, we sat at a table next to a Chinese family and they were talking Chinese. Our son started jibbering and jabbering a hundred miles a minute right along with them as though he was talking with them and part of their conversation. He sounded like he was actually speaking Chinese or a different language. The Chinese family did not speak English, but started laughing and talking to our son in Chinese. Not sure to this day if our son was speaking actual Chinese and if they could understand him or not. It was one of the funniest moments.
Let's go into an empty room or closet and scream. Well, that is exactly what our daughter of 2 yrs does. Our daughter likes to go into a room or closet and scream as loud as she can. Then, she laughs at herself. When I open the door, she smiles and laughs at me. Why? I have no idea. She thinks it is funny apparently and enjoys hearing her own voice.
Everyone likes to dance around to music on the radio, etc. Our daughter dances around the house most of the time. Anytime music comes on the TV or radio, she dances around and likes to makes up her own dance moves. She comes up with some very entertaining dance routines. She watched ice skating on the TV and likes to try and imitate the twirls and leg lifts that they do.

Pregnancy Funnies
During my second pregnancy, I saw humor in many everyday activities that most people do not think twice about.
Putting on panty hose when you are 6 or more months pregnant. What a scene this is. A woman that can barely lift her foot in the air and cannot see her feet. Trying to put on the hose as quickly as possible before falls over. So here I am, trying to lift my leg and pull my panty hose on without falling down or over. Just before I get them almost all the way up, I get a snag. Not a small snag either, it grows and grows. After the morning workout before getting to work, I give up and put on slacks.
Getting the right color of socks or shoes on in the morning before work. When getting ready in the dark, it can be a challenge when pregnant. You get to work and find out you have mismatched socks or shoes. Is this possible? Of course, it is! I have done this on more than one occasion. I get to work and look down at my feet and say to myself why did this happen? Because, you should get dressed in the dark. That is why. Duh.
When a woman is pregnant their memory comes and goes throughout the entire day. One moment you are telling a story or a joke to someone and within a couple of minutes you cannot remember what you were talking about in the first place. Then, after you are not pregnant any longer and do not have pregnancy as an excuse anymore, you still can't remember a darn thing you said or were talking about. Very funny to see, but frustrating at times too.
When a woman is pregnant and her clothes start to get smaller, that is when she trys to avoid getting new clothes as long as possible. I am not getting bigger she tells herself. Well, of course she is. She is pregnant and will get bigger whether she wants to or not. So, to avoid getting new pants she uses the rubber band trick on her pants and keeps telling herself that her pants still fit okay and it is okay that she can hardly breathe when she sits down. Eventually, she has no choice when her zipper splits or her pants split to get a bigger size.
Of course none of these situations happened to me personally. Wink. Wink.
