Have You Ever Peed In Your Pants From Laughing?

One morning, in the hot little village of Franklin, Louisiana, I woke up and got out of bed.  I had a wierd pain in my heel.  My usual routine was stumbling to the bathroom, throwing water on my face, feeding my cats while the coffee was brewing. I then poured myself a cup of Community coffee and made my way down the long cypress hallway.  I stopped at the parlor where my laptop sat upon mama's lace cloth and turned it on.  My favorite rocker, on the front porch, sat  behind the largest hibiscus bush.  There, I could hide out for a while, in my pajamas.  Thus, was life.  Happy.   Of course, after researching it, I realized I had a heel spur...

Festivals occur in the early fall.  One is called the Festival d'Acadiens.  I never miss it because I meet with one of my very best friends, Rhonda du Lanclos, who is from Houston.  She was a belly dancing teacher and I joined her class.  We recognized each other instantly - yes, we would be life-long friends.  She, talented, beautiful, dynamic and me, a crazy woman.  We hit it off. 

Every single year, we meet at the Fest.  This particular year, I showed up with a heel insert in my flip-flop. It helped lessen the aggravating pain.   Rhonda, a nurse, told me that I should have had a cortizone shot instead of putting up with heel pain.  I hate any kind of medicine or shots so I compromised.  Since we meet several other friends there, we make it a point to bring a tent, ice chest and other fun things because we camp out. 

I was carrying a large scarf wrapped with all the junk food we'd consume as well as fruits, grapes, apples, cantelopes and other good tasting stuff.  About half way down the street, my heel insert came out.  I bent down to put it back and all the stuff fell out of the scarf rolling down the street.  I looked up and Rhonda was crossing her legs and laughing.  Yes, I lost it and peed all over myself.  I had to sit on the pavement, laugh and laugh, then get it together, walk another block, set up the tent and then run back to my car and change into a completely different outfit. 

Ok, let's just say, we had fun and that was only the beginning of a great time.  We always turn adversity into opportunity!  Have you had a good laugh like that recently?  Ok, don't hold anything back!  Tell all. Thanks, Salud.
