Compassion Limited

For your laughing pleasure, another glimpse at the trials and tribulations of my teen years:

"Come quick." "Lenny's hurt." "... fell off the slide." "... poked a stick in his eye."
For the rest of the story, pop over to: The Grownups Wanted Us Dead.

That couldn't have been a ton of fun.

Glad you are back. I hope you had a nice intermission. :)

barely the beginning, eh? Do tell.

Earworm: Somebody's gotta be the grownup around here. You remind me of the old rabbi who, after a particularly hard week, went to prayer and said,

God, I thank you that we are your chosen people. But do you think, just this once, that you could go choose somebody else??

OC -- I used a similar line is a sermon I gave about Moses. It was pretty much a stand-up comedy and had the congregation rolling in the aisles.

Jan -- if you want the rest of the story just click the link! It's there, I promise.

Chana -- satisfy that curiosity. I don't want to be responsible for your demise!

Brian -- didn't I? And that wasn't the only time those kids embaressed me. (Yes, I know I spelled that wrong, but the pun wouldn't have worked otherwise, okay, Jackie?)

O I had read the post on the other blog, I thought you had ment that "that" was only the beginning. I should know better than to post a comment while still half asleep!

Those teen years were full of interesting times for me too!

Don't forget this Wednesday November 22nd is "Roasting Dr. John night!" Simply write a blog in his honor sharing stories true and untrue and all in good humor. Have fun and hope to see you Wednesday night!

Oh my. I'll follow the link, but you have to love the irony of an introduction touted as laughing pleasure fodder followed by a stick in the eye.

And congrats for landing your humerous self in the caption contest winners circle again, my friend! :)

Sar -- I love your caption contests. I am so thankful for the day Nessa coaxed me over there -- for more reasons than you can possibly imagine.

Very funny story. Only our families can help us create such stories; D

Nessa -- And my family is truly a gold mine in the area of slapstick comedy.
