Stupid... I don't wanna sling epithets this morning.
But, I ain't got no ser-vice...
OMG!
:)
Segue directly into the memory of Baby Sis entertaining herself with her reflection on the car she was driving at the time. The following is a loose rendering of Baby Sis's account of an event relayed to me between hysterical bouts of laughter. The shape of her vehicle at the time, and the strategic placement of some trim, turned the side of the car into Baby Sis's personal carnival mirror. If you've never played in a carnival mirror, should the opportunity arise, give it a try. I was running late and she was waiting for me in what appeared to be a rather remote and deserted area. Or so she thought. I guess Baby Sis put on quite the show for two gentlemen who were sitting under the nearby trees for a shady spot to eat their lunch. So engrossed were they in her performance that, according to Sis, when she finally spotted her audience, one of the gentlemen had forgotten that his sandwich was just an inch from his mouth. There he sat, mouth gaping in preparation for a large bite of food, frozen in stunned appreciation of Baby Sis's antics. The entire time she was amusing herself in the "mirror", she was softly singing a little ditty of sorts:
I ain't got no bo-dy
I ain't got no neck
I ain't got no le-eggs
I ain't got no head!
It was Red Face time when she glanced up and spotted her unsuspecting audience. She quickly piped up with one of her go-to, "caught red handed", "really, I'm not crazy" remarks:
"Hey, how ya doin'?"
This is where I come in. I show up just in time to see these two men go completely, just short of rolling on the ground, HYSTERICAL with laughter. I don't think I've ever seen anyone laugh harder.
Baby Sis dragged me over to her car saying "You gotta see this! Look! Look at the car!" When I finally spotted my reflection and saw what the car was doing with said reflection, it WAS hysterical! Head sitting on legs! Face sitting on shoulders! Stomach sitting on top of feet! Forehead sitting on neck! Just like her ditty said! No wonder Sis was having such fun! We played together with our reflections for a moment longer, while our audience tried not to choke on their lunch. When our own hysterics were under control and it was safe to drive, we waved goodbye to our lunch eating friends and went on our merry way.
Moments like that cannot be planned or prepared for. They certainly cannot be conveyed to anyone in a way that accurately describes it. And it's pointless to try and make a moment like that happen. The best we can do is hope we recognize and embrace the moment when it does happen.
Te quiero, Travelers!
May many, many "Moments" await you.
WAIT!
The F P Report.
I got this.

Currently it is 34°, with fair skies. Yeah, ok, fair skies. But it's hazy out there. Calm winds. Yep, the winds are indeed calm. And 54% humidity. Oh yeah. My fingers are in the middle of the Split Fits at this very moment. Right thumb and left middle finger, with the right middle considering a split of it's own. I guess it doesn't wanna be left out.
*heavy sigh*
I'm sure you really wanted to know all that.
:)
Have a good day!
And may you go thru life never knowing first hand what the Split Fits are!
