He’s Crafty
I enjoy making people laugh, especially my family. Several times a week, I express mock anger because Maria did not laugh at a joke or pithy comment.
But even I have to draw the line when I know I’m being made fun of.
When Bridget started school five years ago, we made an important decision to have as much involvement in her school life as possible. That has made the PTO an important part of our lives.
One night last week, I offered to help Maria with getting the presents to teachers from the PTO together. She has worked a lot this holiday season and needed a break.
So I started out with something simple – cutting string. I could totally handle that. I measured eight inches, cut and moved on. No problems at all.
Then I hauled boxes of t-shirts into the house. Again, something that was right up my alley. I felt very helpful and even cracked a few jokes in the process.
But the fun soon came to an end. Well, at least it did for me. My wife and daughter were getting ready for some serious comedy.
