Today while discussing a topic that was not at all pleasant or cheerful I just had to smile. Not because of anything broached in the discourse. Rather because of the other parties moniker/ nic (display name). I did not believe it would be appropriate to comment this on their post given the grave nature of the post. The moniker I am refering to is @Juggling With Eggs and this name brings back a lot of fond memories.

As a child and likely I have not out grown this. I had a very different flavor of humor. One of the skits I used to perform for my family and friends was what I called my juggling bit. I would get family and friends together in the family room, that some of you may refer to as the living room. I would then pull out some tennis balls and tell them I wanted them to see how I have been progressing on my juggling. I would then do a very bad job of juggling those balls (mainly because I cannot really juggle). I would then make an announcement that I believed it was obvious that I was ready to step up my game. I would pull out some eggs and well really make a mess 😉. Then as a grand finale I would say. "That was interesting, time to level up" and I would pull out some very large knives and a machete 😀. Okay, even though my audience knew this was a gag and that I was not actually going to attempt to juggle those objects, they still backed up to a supposed safe distance. This routine was so popular that when new friends or family were present I would have volunteers to clean up (the eggs) if I was willing to perform. I of course agreed. I was 10 to 11 years old at this time. A happy era of my childhood. Not every period of my childhood is as enjoyable to remember. Though I prefer to focus on happiness and not misery. It is one of those little things that keep me sane or as close to it as I will ever be. 😉
