), I used to be a bit OTT to the point when my young son (7 at the time) would 'tick me off' because I embarassed him with my whoopee cushion in the middle of a department store ! It would not have been so bad, only there were two elderly ladies within hearing just behind me that I had not noticed :yh_rotfl.
A couple of years ago, at hallowe'en, I thought I would get my own back on all the children who came round 'trick or treating'. I have a very realistic rubber skull mask, which is years old, and I undid my long white hair from it's pony tail, combed it all out, put the mask on and arranged the hair so it hid the elastic and the edge of the mask. I wrapped a white bed sheet over my head and round my body, and the whole thing looked rather realistic and gruesome. When the door bell rang next time, I answered the door (we have an outside light), and was met by half a dozen youngsters dressed as witches ---- I think you could have heard the screams two streets away, and I haven't seen children leg it so fast ! My husband came out of the door with me and called them back. They weren't too sure at first, till he explained that it was his wife, but that I was not feeling very well that evening ! We gave them some sweets, and they eventually laughed at the spectacle and wanted me to go round with them to other houses, but I had to decline cos I didn't want to give any old dears a heart attack !!!
So you see I do sometimes enjoy my life, because I believe you should make the best of everything that you can, and laugh about things in life.
At the moment there are things happening in my life, which I would prefer weren't happening. But I feel that I am coming to terms with certain things and consequently the 'old me' is gradually coming back. My husband and my son (who is now an adult), are beginning to wonder if I will be as 'bad' as I used to be
: I really hope so, cos life is too blinkin short to be miserable and have no fun.
A few months ago we (my hubby, son, and I ) had to go to an office to fill in some forms and attend an appointment. At the reception desk, the lady asked various questions and wrote down the answers, then she asked for our address, so I gave it to her and when it came to the town I said Thingy, and as I had spelt out the previous parts of the address I started spelling out T ....h .....i......n....g.....y and she was busily writing down what I was spelling, then she looked at it, then looked up at me and saw me grinning, she gave me a 'tut' then burst out laughing, and I gave her the proper town name. Well there were other people sitting in the waiting area, looking as miserable as sin, and it was good to see the poor woman laughing, in such a miserable place.
So from time to time, I do enjoy my life - certainly when I can make others laugh a bit. It is true, my 'signature' , I am a 'Saga lout, growing old disgracefully'
