"You talk even though you have nothing to say," said one of my daughter's, as she giggled at what she perceived to be a nonsensical statement. Little did she know, I thought the response was completely relevant to the answer given. I had asked her boyfriend how he was doing. He said, "Pretty good." I said, "Well, that's better than not-so-good." And that is how one closes a conversation...I guess, cause it ended.
Why I find this extremely funny now, is beyond me. I'm sitting here typing, laughing, crying, coughing, wheezing...all at the same time. That's what happens when I laugh hard and loud. I literally get choked up. I try to avoid it...
On a more serious note (maybe), I really like her boyfriend. I love it that he and she care so deeply for each other. I love being around happy people, so I worm my way into a conversation whenever possible. The problem with that is, I rarely have anything important to say. So the old stand-by, the common greeting is, "How are you?" Rarely does anyone expect an answer...but me! I genuinely want to know how a person is doing.
I'm not sure, but I'm supposing that God has a really great sense of humor, since He created it. Some people are said to have a "dry" sense of humor. Others are just out and out funny! Like the actors on Seinfeld. Which means absolutely nothing to my inability to involve myself in a conversation. I sit around and smile a lot at other people's conversations...but mostly, I fear opening my mouth. You didn't know that did you? It's a cover-up...*wink*
I think I just proved that I talk without having anything to say..
This is indeed an interesting place to be...in Mary's World.
