**Humorous Anecdotes**

As you go through life, funny things happen, and it's good to reflect on and share those stories with others. Laughter is good medicine. So I would like for us to share some funny anectodes. I have a couple of courtroom stories, but right now, I will only share one, so I can give you all a chance to share yours.

A few years ago I worked in the Associate Circuit Court. Often times I would be called upon to record a misdeameanor trial. On this one particular day, the defense attorney was attempting to prove that his client was wrongly accused  and innocent of a DWI. So the defense attorney, (I'll call him Paul) was questioning his witness, the patrolman who had made the traffic stop. In his line of questions he asked, "Did you administer the sobriety check?" and "What were the results of the sobriety test?" and then he asked "DID MY CLIENT HAVE SPLURRED SEECH"....The judge had to call a recess while the laughter in the courtroom died down. Even the judge couldn't help but laugh.

So, what's your story?

Just to let you know, I have 6 kids so I can do funny all day long.  I have 5 boys and 1 poor lonely girly girl.  I was taking a shower a couple years ago when she was 3 and she was in the bathroom talking to me.  There was a spider on the wall up towards the ceiling and she was talking about it and named it Twinkerbell.  Well, as all parents know, once you name something you cant possibly kill it.  So this spider hung out in the bathroom for a couple days, not hurting anything.  We would all go in and say hi Twinkerbell and my daughter would carry on long conversations with it.  One day poor Twinkerbell was not there anymore.  I told my daughter that it probably just moved and was still around somewhere, maybe she wanted to be closer to her kids or something.  

Everything was good and a couple months later we were all in the kitchen and there was a spider under the table.  Same type as Twinkerbell but smaller.  My daughter saw it and yelled TWINKERBELL as one of my boys went in for the kill.  She screamed DONT KILL TWINKERBELL.  So my boy says it cant be Twinkerbell this one is smaller, it is fair game.  My daughter thought for a minute looking at the spider and my son.  Then yelled DONT KILL TWINKERBELLS BABY!! 

Sara, not only do you have humorous stories, but you are a gifted story teller. Keep them coming. I'm lovin' it!

I have to tell you Pam, I almost peed myself when I read about your dad and the peacock kid.  Now THAT is funny.

Also, thank you. 

-laughs- Oh I love older people and their raw sense of human. My Grandmother is awesome that way too. My Dad as well :) Peacocks haha

Not sure if you "had to be there" for this one but I laugh every time I think about it...

My b/f and I love to do crosswords when we have the time and a few months ago we were working on a puzzle from a book I got for my birthday. One of the clues was "_____ Mater" so I wrote "Alma" in the spot and proceeded to the next clue... well, my b/f, in a very serious realization, goes, ooooh, I'da put tow... for tow mater!!! and not as in, the tow truck in the movie Cars.. he was talking about a tomato!! We were both crying we were laughing so hard...

I still laugh about it :)

Anybody who is over 40 knows things start to head south. In women besides their faces their boobs tend to head there also. I don't wear a bra because it restricts my breathing.

It was summer and really hot out. My husband (then boyfriend) decided to go to a local restaurant and have a couple of beers.

When we were leaving I put on a little light jacket and he "What are you doing, its a hundred degrees out there. and I said " It will be cold in there and I don't want anyone looking at my chest" to which he answered "Why is everyone going to be sitting on the floor!" I cracked up and to this day I still do. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at.

 

 

Stacey, I loved that - tow mater. That sounds like something my husband or I would do.

Sammielynn - I can relate. I have the same problem. That was funny!

I love reading these! I have family members that sit around and tell the best anecdotes, so this is like having family around. Here's my contribution:

My 18 month old is learning to speak very well, but she gets confused between 'yes' and 'no'. Often, when we ask her if she wants something, she'll say 'no', but we're sure she means 'yes' so we'll say "do you mean yes?" and she'll yell (very loudly) "YES!" This is very cute, but my 11 year old pulled a quick one on her dad the other day.

We had just finished dinner and he asked if I'd mind if he went out to work on the car for a bit (he's very considerate). I, of course, said it was fine. As he stepped away from the table, leaving his plate, I asked if he intended to take his plate with him, since he had to go through the kitchen. Being a smart aleck he says, "No." My lovely daughter (11), with johnny-on-the-spot wit retorts, "Do you mean yes?"

I thought he was going to fall over in shock! I fell over laughing! So there.

I guess when we act smart aleck-y, we teach our kids how to act the same way!
