Humor

I'm learning quite quickly these days. I am clear about the fact that inappropriate responses, lack of patience and displays of frustration are not at all worth the consequences.

Yet, I am who I am and at heart I'm still very cheeky. Most of the time I can squash the urge to come back with a retort, but sometimes it just pops out.

Last evening, I was asked a most typical question. Was I wearing my pluggi? Well, no, not yet, since I'd just had my shower and had not got to that yet.

"What are you waiting for?"

And, a particular thought entered my mind, and I just could not hold it back. I didn't even consider holding it back. I just said it.

"Godot. Waiting for Godot."

There was no response.

But it was funny, wasn't it?!

"Nup. Still waiting for an answer."

Oh well.

And, then this morning...

"I'll be back in ten minutes. You'll be ready, won't you?"

"Yes, yes, I'll be ready."

And ten minutes later,

"Are you playing on the Internet again???" I hear as I scurry to look like I'm ready to leave.

And, a few minutes later, when I see him sitting at his desk to make a quick call, I say to no-one in particular,

"Oh well, I guess I'll go to the car..."

"Ohhhhh, that will cost you!!" he calls out from his study.

Sometimes, I wonder if people these days have lost their sense of humor. Lucky I still have mine though.

Right?
