I have been reading others sites and I must say that they all make me double over from laughing so hard. What a great way to live - being able to see humor in everyday happenings. I can tell you that it will help you stay young longer - or at least "think young" longer.

Speaking of being young! I must share a sweet experience with my three year old granddaughter. We had a girls date last Sunday evening and saw Disney On Ice, the Dancing Princesses. Needless to say, if you have been spared from a trip to the Okla Fair Grounds I truly admire you. However, you are not only missing the experience of trying to park with a thousand other cars, or the frantic mob pushing each other for a place in line for a "huge" cinnamon roll, you are missing a glimpse of the fantasy world through the eyes of a three year old! Oh if we could all see life as they do.

Each Disney character skated their way into the hearts of all the little girls and many adults. As each set of character would skate off the ice my little granddaughter, who sat on my lap the entire time in a trance, would look up at me and with huge eyes would say, "OMa, I love (whoever the male lead was)". The next set of skaters would begin their portion and she would fall in love all over again! I don't think I have ever seen her as mesmerized and it was precious.

Watching her made wrestling with the stroller, battling the lines and buying grossly over priced wands all worth while. I encourage you to take the opportunity and share a fantasy with your kids. Oh, by the way, thanks for all the moments of laughter! (birds attacks, mailbox madness, ipod mixing, etc.)
