So- this actually happened earlier today. It was great. Everyone else has little kid stories to tell, I have to do with the strange things that come out of mine and my roommate's mouths = )
In honor of Prince William & Kate Middleton's wedding Dana announced that she wanted to watch "The Prince & Me", just for fun. I remembered and began to recount a conversation I had with a friend of ours named Court at our last FHE. I asked him if he liked car racing (it's a long story) and he said no, but it might be fun to drive race cars. Court works on his family's farm out in Richmond so when he said he might like to drive I had this image of him out on his family's farm racing around, which led me to another thought which I tried to relate to Court. There's a scene in the "Prince & Me" where the main girl's family does lawn mower race with their neighbors. So the conversation went as follows:
"I feel like we need to watch The Prince and Me in honor of William and Kate"
"Ah, the Prince & Me. At FHE I was trying to tell Court about the lawn mower races so I asked him 'Have you ever seen The Prince & Me?' and he said no..."
"Well yeah, he's a dude!"
"Well I don't know, maybe he had a girlfriend once!..."
At which point we busted up laughing. If you don't think it's funny try saying it with a different emphasis or accent... = ) There now, isn't that funny? Ha!
As I was enjoying the funniness of my house I thought about how some people think that when we get to heaven there'll be a big 'life review' where we go over everything that ever happened in our live whether in book or movie form... (ooh, my life flashed before me eyes! 'Twas very boring...) And I desperately hope that when we do that God will be so kind as to include a blooper reel. A collection of all of the awesomely funny things we said or did. I hope they'll be as funny in heaven (of course he'll include only the ones that are truly funny). Just think of a better way to enter heaven than with a review of all of the awesome moments of life. I suppose it should not only include the funny things, but still, they would make a really good contribution.
Anyway, that's kinda a random post, but I felt like saying something cuz I haven't posted in a loooong time, and it truly was very funny. So just think of this next time something great happens in life. Maybe it will be in your "life review" one day.
