A Few BooBoos
I have to admit, that I have made several BooBoos. For some reason, a few of them entered into my head so I think I'll share. Years ago when I worked at the Bank, I had several people I knew. I don't think you can work in a 36 floor building and not. While in the cafeteria one lunch hour, a friend pops behind me and startles me. So, I think to myself, I'll get him back. Out of the corner of my eye, I happen to barely see him in line with his white button up shirt and bluish tie on. He is just standing there reading the weeks's menu..as if nothing happened. Now, I carefully sneak behind him and once I'm close enough...I GRAB THAT MENU OUT OF HIS HANDS AND START nonchalantly reading it. As I prepare to thrust it back into his hands, I see this startled face of a man I have never seen in my life, and right across me is the man I meant to do this too laughing his head off. To say I was embarrassed and wanted to crawl in a hole is barely scratching the surface. Then, there was this time my girlfriend Patti, is going out the door towards the ladies room. I could see her because I had cameras right outside my office that showed people coming and going out the secured entrance. So, I start towards the bathroom and have decided once I am inside the ladies room, I'll do it! I round the corner ever so quietly, I wait till I hear her washing her hands, I'm going to jump out and give her the biggest BOOOO I can give. Patiently I'm waiting, water is on, timing has to be perfect. Now it's time. I jump around the corner with a loud BOOOO and see this little old lady screaming....she sees my shocked face and starts laughing.... I again, made a mistake! Now that I'm older, and hopefully more mature, you would thing that I'm done with pranks. But no. I still have something in me that likes life's little surprises. I wish I could share more stories, but maybe at another time. There were also times I prayed God would change me and I even tried to change myself and it just wasn't me. So, now I accept myself as God made me and He's even used me a few times. I now pray for him to make me what He wants me to be. While this may take some time....I'm going to enjoy this life He gave me. I pray you will too. After all, God does have a sense of humor.
