Give me some Merry

You know I've been a mother for 1/3 of my life, yes i know I'm old. But the point I'm trying to make is people assume things about me. You see now-a-days when i speak with another adult who doesn't have children i don't think they get me, or my humor. I'm not a stupid person, housewife was not my only option just the one i chose. My children have taught me that simpler is better, and that laughter is the greatest thing there is. Of course i tend to laugh at people when they get to serious about themselves. I wish only that people would stop trying so hard to be the smartest, or the most world impacting, and toke a look around. Look around and laugh, enjoy the small pleasures, be merry. I think once a day you should be subjected to a horrible knock knock joke; one so horrible it makes absolutely no sense. You'll laugh too, you'll have to because it will be just that silly a thing. You may not laugh right away but one day it will get you and you'll see what i see. Even that can be beautiful. Because someone wanted to hear you laugh so badly they stuck with it. I enjoy little things like that, but that does not mean i can't grasp the intense political, philosophical conversations that are being held. I'd just rather smile. I'd rather be merry.
