Learning the Hard Way, Laughing About It Later
I have no idea what to write this morning but my mind remembered some funny moments and I thought, why not share some since there's a community for it? So this is not an entry to the prompt but just random funny moments from my life recently, a few from some time ago.
I fell sick and spent a moment that I had never imagined I would be opportune to. I can't believe I had to fall sick to spend time with my mother and my grandma at the same time. You know that moment when you have two mothers who can not help but care, around when you're sick. Yes, I was blessed with such a moment.
But a funny thing happened, I refused to listen when two mothers say I shouldn't go out yet that I'm still sick. I disobeyed and went to find where to charge my phone so I can at least watch reels. I didn't even get half my way to the place when I was hit by a bicycle from behind me.
Of all things to hit on the wide and clear road, a bicycle rode by a little boy hit me. I got some wounds and I went home but couldn't say anything until the two mothers noticed and asked then, the long talk of "We told you!". I mean, I am blessed to have them but why are mothers always correct. π
P.S: I went with the wound to the charging spot before heading back home. I can't be tending to my wounds with my phone turned off, you know.
Another funny moment that got me smiling this morning was the most recent adventure I went on. I decided to visit one of our congregations last Sunday, be the independent daughter from mum. She went to the one we usually go to and I continued my journey to the one I was visiting for the first time.
I got to the junction and asked a passerby of the exact location of the place, if I could walk it. She said "It's not far" and off I went, I started trekking down. I'm using the word "trek" because it wasn't a short walk as I had expected it. I continued to trek until I was beginning to feel lost, I asked another passerby. She said, "it's not far, go by your left".
After all my trekking, it's not that "I'm there already" but another "it's not that far" that I got. I immediately regret agreeing to walk to the place but taking a vehicle would be my lose because I may really be very close already. That was how I trekked for another 30 minutes because I took a wrong path and was directed back to the right path.
Next time, I won't act too sure of where I'm going even if I'm asking, I'll just take a vehicle for easy way and no trekking. My grand entry into the church hall that I imagined turned to what I can't even described, I was tired like who just finished house chores or finished running. It wasn't funny at that time but I remember it now and just laugh at myself for trying to do too much.
