Have you ever...?

[Appy]

..seen an elephant laugh?

[Ayshela]

asked an unexpected overnight guest to go home simply so that your daughters could comfortably wander the house in their underwear?

[Mynx]

Watched a man put pieces of onion in his eyes in a desperate attempt to cry?

Slipped in fake vomit?

Watched a man nearly get knocked out by an 18 month old kid?

Tried to follow a strict list of directions to get home, and only succeeded when you threw out the list?

Had your actions narrated by a director trying to illustrate the method of scriptwriting to someone?

Watched a man eat the same breakfast more than twenty times in a day?

[Ayshela]

Watched your daughter go offstage in one outfit, and walk back onstage thirty seconds later in a completely different outfit?

Been thrilled to be able to say "I told you so!" =)

Fallen asleep with the door locked and someone sitting in front of it, woken up alone with the door closed but unlocked, yet still known you were completely safe?

Spent five minutes wandering the kitchen aimlessly trying to decide what to make for dinner?

Asked everyone in the house what they wanted to eat, and when no one had an answer, decided they could feed themselves?

Been more warm and sweaty at night than you were during the day?

Been relieved when you hear thunder, because that means the weather is changing?

Been astonished to find that for once, every single thing filling the schedule the next day is something of *yours*?

Wished your scalp would finally just rip its way out of your head and be done with it?

Had a cockatiel share your shower?

Had said cockatiel burrow into the towel and lay an egg on your chest?

Tried so hard to keep someone else's drug allergies straight that you realized you couldn't remember your own?

Realized that relaxing enough to be able to go to sleep takes more energy than you have?

Been so intensely glad for friends in an online community because they're the only ones who don't automatically assume you're insane?

[Quincunx]

Two points.

 

First, I think it's more difficult to keep the bird OUT of the shower, or the dog's water dish, or your mug of water (when he turns around on the rim, it's already too late, feathery butt will be in the drink before you can grab him);

 

Second, it's not so much they/we assume you're/they're not nuts, but that we're/you're worth associating with and nuts. . .

[Ayshela]

*laughs* true. Though I do appreciate the folks who don't *assume* insanity, and wait to find out for sure.

[Ran Yoko]

OOC: no idea if this will even make sense. man, i'm tired. boy, i hate geometry. here's my questions. please regard them kindly.

Just for the record though, ideally these are things you actually have done.

Coaxed a 200andsomething kilogram tiger into getting up when it just wanted to lie down and rest?

Posted a link with proof of one of your have you ever questions?

 

Sorry folks, I've no clue why my link doesn't work if you just click on it. Either copy and paste http://haydnc.my-php.net/pics/DSCF0764.JPG into a fresh browser window or prepare to be spectacularly disappointed by what appears to be a non-working link to a picture that does exist.

[Appy]

...listen to yourself say the most aweful and unreasonable things while feeling utterly unable to stop talking that way?

 

 

(to stop smoking after 15 years is quite o_O.. and not just for me )
