Something to make you laugh… June 15, 2008

…unless of course you’re a grump. Then you’ll probably think we’re immature and not laugh at all. Of course, grump or not, you may think that anyway but let’s just say it was a HUGE and very needed stress release!!!!! *smile*

SOMEONE, who will remain nameless was reminding us (Mel, Me, Ames and Beth) about something crazy we did a few years ago before a CMT conference. I hadn’t remembered it but now that I do I CANNOT believe we did it!!!!!!!!!!!! SO FUNNY and random and STRANGE!!!!!

Ok, so maybe I’ll just tell you what it was before I continue. CMT pre-conference the very first year. Aaron and Christa were here, me and my two brothers were here, the Bogner sisters were here as well as Jonelle and the Davis girls who were new to our circle.

We had made a cake early that day and it was being served on the island in the kitchen. Everyone finally had a piece and we were ready to eat it. I’m not quite sure how or who started it but someone began walking around the island and slowly, we all followed. Soon 9 young adults were marching around the kitchen island, cake in hand, singing “Do You Know the Muffin Man?” very loudly. Yeah, we did. We did it for a good long while too. Josh yelled “SWITCH!!!” at one point and we simultaneously started walking the other way around the island. All the while the Davis girls are staring at us in disbelief. In their words tonight as they reminded us of that crazy night, “We’d never seen older people act that way before!!!!’

But that wasn’t the worst of it. NO. They followed by saying, “Of course, we’ve never really seen people that old and not married.” OF ALL THE– Gracious, I never!!!!! So that started this conversation:

Me: Well, we’ll be married someday!!!!! We might have to be wheeled down the aisle by that time, but we will!!!!!!

Mel: YEAH!!!

Me: It will probably have to be one of those over sized wheel chairs because we’ll be so fat by then!!!!

Mel: We won’t be able to have matching wedding dresses like we always planned!!!!

Me: Nope, we’ll be too fat for wedding dresses.

Beth: Well, you’ll probably be in a nursing home, so you can just wrap up in a sheet….

Me: ASSISTED LIVING Beth, not a nursing home!!!!!!!! There IS a difference!!!!!!

Mel: Yeah, the difference is F-L-I-R-T!!!!!!!!!

All: ROFL

Ok, so then, we’re outside tonight swimming in the dark. And Mel throws a frog in the pool. So I pick it up:

Me: Hmmm, I wonder if this could work….*promptly kisses frog* Well, that didn’t work. Maybe I got the wrong one….maybe this one’s yours Mel…here ya go!!

Mel: *promptly kisses frog* Nope, nothing!!!

Me: Bummer…Bess??

Beth: Ok…*promptly kisses frog* Nope!!

Me: Ohhhhh well…it wasn’t meant to be!!

Beth: *puts frog in flower bed*

Mel: That’s the wrong hole Beth, he came from that one!!!

Beth: Aww, he’ll find his way back.

Me: Yep, just as soon as his wife calls him for dinner—-OH DEAR!!!!!!!!!! GIRLS!!!!!!!!!! We’ve just kissed another frog’s prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All: ROFL (Or should I say RIPL - rolling in pool laughing)

*sigh*

So we’re still swimming. . .and talking about how crazy we are for marching around the island and singing “Do You Know the Muffin Man?” and of course we start singing it in the pool.

Beth: Sooo, DO you know the muffin man???

Me: I don’t think so….

Ames: I know the pizza man!!!!

Me: Do you know the marshmallow man???

Beth: Why no!!!

Me: Oh, he is soooooooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!

Ames: Yeah well, the pizza man is cheesy!!

Beth: The muffin man is just crumby!!!

Mel: Well, I have to say, the donut man is flaky!!!

Beth: Oh Mel, don’t speak about the donut man that way, he is holy!!!!!

All: RIPL

So we get done swimming and six girls in drippy swimsuits manage to squeeze into the shower to wash our chlorine filled hair. Cries of “ROTATE!!!!!!” rang out every time someone else needed to rinse and move to the next step, conditioning. It was rather tricky, but quite hysterical. After one cry of “ROTATE!!!!!!!!!!” I looked over to the girl next to me, who will remain anonymous, and said “Have you ever considered hip reduction surgery??” I got whacked and got soap in my eyes. But it was worth it!!! *giggle*

Me: We are cut from a different kind of mold. I don’t know anyone else who would waste the time or breath talking about such things!!!!!

Ames: Or cramming SIX GIRLS in a shower!!!!

Mel: Imagine…..SIX GIRLS!!!!

Yep, don’t know anyone else quite like this but all in all it was a very FUN night!!!!! I love making memories with my sisters!!! *smile* Thanks for sharing them with me here!!!
