it just so happened that i was in a situation that allowed me the opportunity to peruse a Readers Digest.. i like the tiny sections that make me laugh out loud. the joke sections, you know? i don't know what they are called... but i was reading this one today called "If at first you don't succeed...give it to a kid". a first grade teacher handed out the first part of well-known proverbs and asked the children to fill them out - the right side happens to be the kids' responses.

"it's always darkest before.... daylight savings time.
"Don't bite the hand that.... looks dirty.
"You can't teach an old dog new... math.
"If you lie down with dogs, you'll.... stink in the morning.
"A penny saved is.... not very much.
"Laugh and the world laughs
with you; cry and.... you have to blow your nose
"Children should be seen and not.... grounded.
"When the blind leadeth the blind.... get out of the way. "

i gave a light hearted chuckle - this warrants a light hearted chuckle, i feel. i definately like the one about biting dirty hands. i have another one , one that i made up:
"give the world the best you have.... and of course, you get screwed ...
how's that for a light hearted chuckle?

yes, its one of those days..
