You remember that your favorite show comes on at 7 PM so you
hurry home, fix your dinner and sit down to relax, only to learn there’s an
extended news bulletin instead.
Have you ever really pinched yourself to see if you were
awake.
Does anybody know of a bakery that delivers? I’m tired of
ordering pizza just so I can order the brownie for dessert.
Have you ever seen someone fall and noticed the first thing
they did was look to see who was watching? Or, maybe you were the one that fell.
As you get older the first thing you might think about if you fall is: Is there somebody to help me up? Or … are you the one watching.
Want to know what’s a real pet peeve for a blind person? You
follow all the crazy links on facebook to find a video you really want to
know about. Finally you hit all the
links and you’re there but … the video has no words.
Do you remember the Lone Ranger? There are two things that I
have always wondered about: One is why
he wears a mask and two is where does he get money to buy those silver bullets.
Have you ever been by yourself when you really laughed out
loud about something you saw, read or heard? Wouldn’t it be cool if a room full
of people who laughed like that would be recorded and played instead of that
mechanical laughter you hear on TV, or am I the only one who feels that
laughing is so artificial? Yet I wonder if a sitcom would even exist without
it.
Then there are what we call the soaps? Have you ever turned
one on after not watching it for more than ten
years and found out that some characters had been replaced but the plot
hadn’t.
If you are over the age of fifty you may have noticed …
you’re cleaning a sink and suddenly the words:
“Once in every week Drain-O in every drain,” pop in your memory from a
long-ago commercial, or maybe Tony the Tiger says “They’re great!” every time
you pass Frosted Flakes in the grocery store.
Have you ever noticed that something you may have done in
the past was not fun, but the memory of having done it later brings a happy
memory to your heart? … like shelling peas with grandma who is no longer there,
or walking to school in the snow?
Is it still Monday?
