I know, I shouldn't laugh...BUT!!!

I know, I know, I should behave better. I know this. And I try super hard to do it too--Well, er, most of the time. But I have been giggling about this for three days straight now--and if I don't share with someone I'm gonna die! Hehehe! I know, I know.. nothing like going public with this, but seriously... what else can I do?

So Sunday at church--it was fast sunday (Where we fast meals and give that money we would've used for food to the poor) anyway,f ast Sunday is my favorite, because I love to hear the life changing experiences that people share that have uplifted them and helped them on their path of the straight and narrow. LOL! Well, British testimonies are always a bit more exciting, than in the States. Maybe it's the cute accents? I don't know. But one sweet lil' old guy--cane and all--got up to bare (Bear? not sure! LOL!) his testimony and I lost it. Seriously, lost it.

The part that got to me, went something like this:

"So I wanted to thank the young men and women who came to my house and sang carols to me. I especially loved the little cakes you made me. The chocolate ones I ate straight away. But the real pretty white one I saved for a special occasion. It was just beautiful with extra pretty decor and fancy designs. I couldn't wait to eat it and saved it for a whole week, until Christmas Day.

Little did I know that when I finally bit into that little cake--it wasn't a cake at all, but a flippin' bar of soap! Couldn't figure out why I was chewing something so hard till I actually bit down on the thing! So, uh, thanks for that Christmas surprise."

Seriously, I lost it--Bad, bad, Jenni. But I just had to share! LOL! I can't be the only one who knows this. LOL!

  9. I'm bad too. Especially at church. It seems like when I know I'm not supposed to laugh is when I laugh the hardest. So one time, there was the sweetest older lady in RS who was sharing the most spiritual story. Everyone was so touched and then all the sudden she said, "Except the poodle was in the car with us too and he had really bad gas." My head whipped over to Candi who was sitting right next to me and she had the most serious look on her face. I said, "Candi, did you hear that?" And she gave the most barely noticeable nod. I figured she really didn't hear it, so I whispered, "She said the poodle had gas." That's when Candi lost it. She plugged her nose and her whole body started shaking. So then of course I let out a loud "HA!" and had to throw my hands over my mouth. We laughed the rest of the meeting. Later Candi said, "Kasie, I totally heard her, I was trying not to laugh." Oh my gosh, it was soooo funny. I'm laughing so hard right now just remembering it.
