I was at church last Thursday doing my volunteèr work when a woman came in looking for a handout. The pastor asked her what her name was.
"Latrine'" she replied.
"Excuse me?" the pastor said.
"Latrine," she repeated.
The pastor completed his business with her, but, as soon as she left, he expressed his astonishment. "LATRINE!!"' he said. "Who would name their kid Latrine??? A latrine is a toilet!!!"
He chuckled for a moment, then added, "I wonder if her husband's name is John?"
I am much too lady-like to say this out loud, but my thought was, "I bet her kids are a bunch of little terds."
I am determined to survive whatver debris life throws my way with my sense of humor intact. I'm a 52 year old woman with disabling MS and, after trying to fight it out by myself, have recently moved into a nursing home. This is the story of my effort to get through life while living here. My one talent and redeeming trait is that I enjoy writing nonsense verse, which I will share with you. all entries © Deborah Taylor, 2010 All rights reserved
