Ironing Board & Kinetic Sand

I have it on good authority that I fell out of a shopping cart and landed on my head when I was a toddler. One hundred percent of the people I have told that to—and it’s been a few—have been like, “Ah … okay” (as if to say, “That clears a few things up.”) Zero of them have been like, “Nah, that doesn’t sound right.”

Watch this clip from me having breakfast at the Peninsula this past weekend, and you be the judge.

I am describing a skit that stand-up comedian Dusty Slay does about stealing an ironing board from a hotel.

I challenge you to not crack a smile while watching it.



KINETIC SAND

This post is a two-fer. So, I was having breakfast there yesterday morning and we were leaving heading for the room. And this little girl (maybe four years old or so) sees me wheeling toward her table and says to me, “What happened to your legs?”
 
I said, “I have a sickness called MS, and they don’t work anymore.”
 
She replied, “Why don’t you use crutches??”
 
I said, “I could try that, but I would probably fall down.”
 
“So, you need wheels?”

“Yep, I need wheels.”

Her parents are head in hand like, “This isn’t happening.” And her mother says to her, “Um … do you have any other questions?”
 
“Do you like my snowman?”

I replied, “I like him very much. Is that Play-Doh?”

The mom said, “It’s kinetic sand.”

“Aaaahhh!! That’s kinetic sand!! I’ve been hearing a lot about that.” I then tell the girl, “Well, I’m glad we had this conversation … now I know what kinetic sand is.”

We said goodbye, and she continued making her green snowman.
