Tell us something funny that’s happened to you or your family recently.

My cat got three teeth pulled yesterday, and they gave him a shot of an opioid that stays in his system for up to 72 hours. He is high and hilarious. Like he keeps playing in his water fountain and coming out of his room sopping wet and seems confused about why he’s wet. And he’s playing with everything. Then occasionally he zones out and then kind of flops over and starts snoring.

Why don’t they have this drug for humans? Lol. It would make dental treatment much more bearable. Free root canals for everybody!

DS is very confused by the election terminology. How can Donald Trump be running? He’s pretty old, that can’t be good for his knees. Does he get a cane to help him? Good thing Biden dropped out, he’d have been so slow! How old is Kamala? Is it even safe for her to run either? Why don’t they dress in workout gear? Her high heels are not a good choice. They both need some adidas.

I honestly can’t tell if he’s trolling us or really thinks it will be decided by a foot race.

It's so bad that I can't think of anything funny lately.

I'll leave you with an interesting fact. I learned that once upon a time there used to live alligators in a fountain in El Paso. I'm not going to link articles because the news is not all happy, but they closed it down and moved remaining alligators to the zoo over 50 years ago. They had lived there since 1880.

Sad but slightly funny... my senior dog has been sitting on her butt like a human in straddle position and putting her front paws in front of her like she was going to press to lift up her back legs. She is 100% stuck and when DD or I go to help her up she will start pooping. I don't know if it is the position, or we hit a pressure point but we have both learned to move our feet quick.

Dd2 had a friend over the other day. They play soccer together but go to different schools.

The friend is in 5th grade, and was talking about kids in her class “dating”, and that one was dating a 7th grader. DD2 was horrified.

Dd2: wait… she was going out with him?

Friend: Yea, but they broke up

Dd2: But he’s a 7th grader! That’s too old! IS THIS WHAT GOES ON AT YOUR SCHOOL???

I agree, but geez, Nana, unclench your pearls.

My cat figured out how to open the bathroom cupboard door under the sink and will fish out Q-tips from the box one at a time to play with. He has no shortage of toys but prefers Q-tips.

This isn't super recent, but it's hilarious and we reference it constantly in our house. DD2 revealed to us in passing that she didn't let the water run and warm up before getting in the shower. So she'd just get in and brace herself in ice cold water until it got to a normal temperature. All of us were stunned by this revelation and could not believe that's how she was showering. She was equally stunned that no one else does this and we all wait for warm water. It never crossed her mind as an option, she just assumed that's how showers are for everyone. So now when someone has to persevere through something, we reference that and tell them to be like DD2 in the shower and muscle through it.

twinmomma I guess the day can only get better after a shower like that!

The other night my 7-year-old son looks at his 4-year-old brother and said "Poo Poo Butt." And my 4-year-old doesn't miss a beat before saying back "skibidi toilet."

It's close to 80* here today. DD1 loves the seat warmers in my car, but today, she got in and flipped on the seat warmers to low. I asked her why she put the seat warmers on -- she said she didn't--she had on the seat coolers. DH and I about died laughing...
Also, she's 15. 15!! She'll be driving soon.

I can't think of a funny story off the top of my head. But I do have a feel-good one.

When I was in my mid-twenties, fun party girl phase, I was really tight with another like-minded girl. I'll call her Mary. Mary was beautiful, intelligent and charismatic. Everyone wanted to be around her. At some point, she dated a guy that seemed a bit random. I'll call him Troy. Troy was rather homely and definitely directionless. Everybody wondered what Mary was doing with Troy. They broke up. In the past 10 years or so. Mary has become extremely religious and buys into every conspiracy theory imaginable. She pours all of this on to her Facebook posts. Today. She posted something about praying for Jesus guide us through the elections. Troy, who I hadn't seen nor heard anything from since they broke up in 2004ish, wrote a very eloquent reply. Not bashing her beliefs, just affirming what an intelligent and loving person she was when they hung out. I clicked on Troy's profile. Turns out he's a housing developer and running for the State House in the state we used to live in. He's doing great! And he aged very well! Seems like this guy is living a fantastic life and seeing his profile really filled my bucket today.
