Always Laugh

Kristen had the gift of being able to laugh at herself. I'd like to say that I had some part in teaching her to do that. I am not very good at that myself so I would coach her when she was younger to laugh first. That way people laugh with you not about you. I remember her telling a story of an incident that happened at Fayetteville High. Now FHS is a big school with a lot of students. Kristen's class alone probably had around 600 students. So the population of the entire school was probably around 1800 give or take. I don't remember if this happened her sophomore or junior year. She had worn a short skirt to school that day along with flip flops. The skirt was not tight but floaty. I guess as she was walking up the stairs from the Bulldog lobby she tripped. Her skirt popped up and she flashed her panties at everyone behind her. At almost any time of the day the Bulldog lobby would have been packed. Miss Grace (not) just turned around and said to the crowd in general I hope you enjoyed the show. Isn't that awesome? I would have been one of those who was so unbelievably embarrassed that I would have wanted to hide. Kristen on the other hand just lead the laughter. That ability was really endearing.

Here's another laugh for all you cat lovers. This is my "nephew". He's a little precocious to say the least. His momma keeps wanting me to take him. He's certainly half wild half cat-child! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFq_4cS7GHs
