Something happened today

that has never happened before.

So I thought I should write about it.
Lucky you.

Let me tell you a little story.

It's about a girl going off to school in a far away land.
A land full of snow drifts and icy streets.

A fancy new walk was perfected by the livers of this magical land.

"The Rexburg shuffle".
(click on that if you're not sure where Rexburg is)

Now, I once mocked the shuffle.

Oh yes I did.

But all it took was one time of laying on my back with all my peers hovering over me . . .

I became the shuffle's biggest fan.

Just ask my good friend, Jayna, about walking on icy streets.

She'll tell you.
Her humble moment happened behind a car.
That was driving.
And thought he hit her.
A memory for the long haul, that one is.
Ah, yes.
Any resident of that icy haven knows of what I speak.

Knowing how it traumatized my life,
I should've taught my offspring.
Shame on me.

I'm sure Gavin's bum is thanking me right now.
Sarcastically, of course.
He thought he'd win the race . . .

. . .between him and the car . . .

. . .from the mailbox.
I watched from the drivers side window.
Helpless.
And there he sat with bits of scattered mail all around him.
Did I laugh?

Of course.
I thought it would be a great "it's okay to laugh at yourself" moment.

He may not have seen the humor.
But he will.

And.

Look ma . . .
I got me a PONY!
