A Funny Thing Happened

    I am a student at the University of Oklahoma. Yesterday, I was heading to my first class that was at the bottom floor (underground) of a two story building. As I was walking towards the steps to get to the classroom at the bottom, I saw the building's janitor sweeping the steps with a broom.

This man is probably in his 30's, not real tall, and dark, most likely Hispanic. I've seen him around before and have often greeted him "Good morning." Well, when I saw him yesterday sweeping those steps, I had a thought to say something silly. As he looked up at me and nodded his greeting, I grinned and started singing "Cinderelli, Cinderelli…" He paused for a split second and then gave a hearty bellow of laughter. I chuckled as I entered the classroom door. After I sat down and started to get ready for class, I could hear the janitor just outside laughing and telling someone "Some girl just called me Cinderella!"

Well that silly little moment made me start that day off with a smile. Aren't those silly moments in life just great? The best ones are the times we spend with family. My husband and I, for example, have lots of silly moments. I remember the first time he passed gas in front of me. We had just met and started dating. At his apartment, we were sitting next to each other kind of snuggling. He was staring into my eyes and I thought he was about to plant one on my lips. All of a sudden I heard this *speeeeeef*. Poor Stephen turned very pale and his eyes widened in horror at passing gas in front of his new girlfriend. To his utter relief, I started giggling. Needless to say, his embarrassing moment did not ruin our relationship. On the contrary, it is one of those moments that we hold in fond memory.

Please feel free to leave a comment with your silly moment. I'd like to hear them.
