If you’re reading this and thinking – Gah! You already posted something today – what’s this!? Keep reading. Please. š
Soā¦. this happened. Yesterday, I posted a comment on a terrific blog ā I donāt know the blogger in any way, and this was a first-ever bit of chiming in on his thoughtful post.
Seriouslyā¦I need to slow down and proofread what Iām doingā¦or WordPress needs to come through with comment āeditā capability ā maybe just for me? No ā this was not the first time Iāve served up a typo or sent a comment with words missingā¦.and typically, Iāll reply to MY OWN goofed-up message just to acknowledge the typo or the whoops.
Yesterday? I couldnāt bear to do it. Enthralled by my own stupidity, my mistake prompted deep belly laughs (with a snort or two mixed in) as I wondered what the sweet blogger thought of my, umm…odd comment.
What did I do? In trying to offer an insightful thought (first mistake, Vicki?) I had the imagery of a playground teeter-totter in mind ā you know, related to the push/pull and polarity of our crazy lives.
What did I type?Ā Teeter-TOOTER.Ā Yes, friends.Ā When I caught what Iād done ā of course after I hit āsubmitā – I succumbed to a tidal wave of giggles.Ā Childlike recollections of fart jokes and epic bathroom humor.Ā TOOTER??? Ā
Then came the stern, self-talk moment: Victoria ā WHAT did you just do??? TOOTER? You just typed TOOTER to this man whoās disclosing, sharing, inspiring. Shame on you! And then ā fix it, fix it, fix it.
As I regained my composure, more or less, I noticed he responded with a simple ālikeā. More self-talk: Maybe he didnāt see the goof? But what about the broader audience? Others who will see – and hopefully laugh, too? Maybe not?
It required restraint but you know what I did? Absolutely nothing. Well, other than continuing to guffaw at my own expense. Oh ā and I guess write about it now.
Thatās my Sunday silly ā from me to you!
Toot! Toot!

Oh my word, Girl! Iām rolling! My son tells me I have the humor of a 12 year-old boy because things like this (ie: completely awkward) are inordinately funny to me. Anyway, I was literally LOLāing at your oops, then got to the āToot! Toot!ā at the end. New waves of giggles ensued. Ahh.. Okay, trying to get it together and act my age again. Thank you for the laughs!

I love that you love it and that it made you LOL, too! So…two grown women (at least – me and you) have the funny bones of 12-year old boys. That explains a lot! xo and thanks for laughing along with me….er AT me? Either way is good! š¤£
