Goodbye May

It's Funny Friday
by Prudence and Vlad

Okay, let's see - Mom - something funny.  Oh where to begin.  You all know that she is terrified of fish - both big and small, fears them all (giggle).  

She doesn't go in any body of water - ever.  Doesn't even take a bath, and we try to convince her that it would be so relaxing - nope, not gonna work.

Normally she doesn't put herself in a situation where fish would be, lake, ocean, pet shop, you get the idea.  But every now and then something goes wrong, could be a picture or video on Face Book, commercial  on the telly, a movie, but she will always watch Shark Week, and let's not forget to mention the movie Jaws.  How many times can a person watch that and STILL be terrified?  Oh, to only see inside her head.

Summer is here, and of course shark attack reports have made to news, she just stands in the kitchen shaking her head telling the people "just don't go in the water".  I mean she talks to the telly screen, normal?  Here it's very normal.

It's funny, and everyone laughs at her, but it is a fear, and fear can be very real and crippling.  But one thing she will never, ever do is make fun of someones fear, she won't laugh or tease about it and over the years she has heard of some strange fears, like butterflies.  Okay, a butterfly?  Well, it is still fear and should not be used to make a person uncomfortable or feel weird.  FEAR IS REAL.

But secretly, we all laugh at her and even she (sometimes) laughs at herself.  How could a fish get in her bath water?  It's only her in the bathroom, looking at a dry tub before she runs the water.  Beats us.

Wishing you a very happy June 1 and weekend.  Until next week.....

Heaps of Hugs
