Something to lighten up your Friday

It's been a bit of a heavy week, so just to lighten things up--here's a few true funny stories that really happened to me!

One day I was poaching an egg in the microwave.  I pulled it out of the microwave after it was done and I was standing there face over it looking at it.  When all of a sudden the egg explodes!  Right in my face! BURNING HOT!  Larry, being the quick thinker that he is, was standing at the sink and he pulled the sprayer out and sprayed me right in the face. Well, it cooled me off, kept my face from burning.  But now I was standing there in my pjs, covered in egg and soaked head to toe.  I just died laughing!

Another one..this one kinda recent.

As we were walking back to the hotel in Amsterdam, it was cold and I had my hands in my coat pockets.  There was a small little bump in the sidewalk.  Just enough to catch my shoe.  As I was falling toward the sidewalk, hands in pockets, I thought -Man I don't want to hit my face-so I turned ever so slightly and landed rather ungraciously on the sidewalk on my elbow and knee.  I wasn't hurt bad but still... had to laugh.


One from my childhood. 

My sister and I were so excited that the snow cone man was coming down the street!  We ran to get our change and ran out to get our yummy snow cones!  As we were walking back to the house, my sister was just eyeing her snow cone and just couldn't wait to dig into it..  the newspaper guy just happened to be driving down the street right at that time.  He threw the paper into our yard and it hit my sister right on the back of the head causing her snow cone to just fall right into the grass.  Poor thing!  You can't really wash a snow cone off either.  Was that newspaper guy aiming at us?? 

Ok..one other.

For some reason, things fly out from the sky and find me.  We were all sitting in our backyard one time, playing a game at a table when all of a sudden a baseball flew down and landed right in my stomach!  No one else saw it fly down but there I am on the ground! And then, another day, we were at a playground when a bicycle helmet came flying out of nowhere and conked me on the head. Ha! Still don't know where that thing came from.
