“Am I even human?” My four year old asked yesterday, with one hand on her hip and the other out in front of her, palm up, as if she really expected an answer.
“If you weren’t human, what would you be?”
She thought for a moment and then answered, “A bunny rabbit. Or maybe a blanket.” And she stomped off. I wonder sometimes if children have a heightened awareness that we really weren’t created to be permanent fixtures in this world. However, there are some really funny things that we humans do and think. My friend Clint posted a list titled, “Truths For All Humans” Many of these made me laugh out loud ~ so I am sharing an edited version of the top 21 that made me laugh. Thanks Clint!
1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing stinks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
6. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
7. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
8. Bad decisions make good stories.
9. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
10. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
11. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
12. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.
13. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
14. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
15. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
16. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.
17. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
20. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey- but I’d bet my savings that everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
Peace!
I don’t know who the credit should go to, but these are first class.
I actually laughed out loud (on my own in the office) to carrying groceries in from the car.
Thanks KTP

I laughed out loud at some of these, only because I see myself so very clearly in nearly every one.
I would like to add to #1. in addition to clearing all computer history, it is also a best friends job to find the journals and burn them.
dl.
Yes indeed, DL! You know where the journals are kept.
