Our thing for the month of September is to Do Something Silly Every Day. It’s harder than it sounds, and we’ve discovered that there is a very fine line between doing something silly and doing something stupid. My criteria is that if it makes us laugh or brightens someone else’s day, it qualifies.
It’s also a good exercise in not taking yourself too seriously. You have to be willing to look foolish. Your silliness can’t be too subtle, as I found out when I reversed the way the toilet paper roll was hung. Max noticed, but didn’t think it was funny. I, on the other hand, thought that life is too short to take things like that so seriously (which is why I immediately gave in when he wanted to argue about which way was “right”).
It’s a good thing September is a short month. I’m finding that I’m starting to plan the execution of the next day’s sillitude. Hmmm…it’s probably more fun if it is spontaneous.
