A funny thing happened on the yard today…(Isn’t that how a lot of jokes start out?) I was sitting outside with a couple of friends and I heard the beginnings of an argument developing. Sure enough, two women were ‘getting into it’, voices starting to raise, uncomplimentary names being hurled back and forth. I couldn’t tell for sure but it seemed the issue was about one owing the other a cup of ice. Trivial perhaps, but in this environment, almost anything can escalate into a fight.
And this soon did, to the point of blows being thrown. Both women stood up and began swinging wildly, but neither one could connect. They were both just punching the air over and over! Watching it was quite entertaining and I had to restrain myself from yelling “3 strikes…you’re out!”. The funniest part of all was they both soon got tired and decided to just sit down and talk things over. Do ya think that might have been worth trying first, ladies? I admit I might have smothered a smile or two- okay a laugh but nobody got hurt and laughter in here is the best medicine!
And…at the end of the day I’m grateful to have a Bunkie that I get along with.
