a big one. (what makes you smile?)



my friend, amber, who coincidentally makes me smile!, was visiting baltimore from idaho falls and to show her a grand ole time in charm city, i took her to various delicious eateries: one world cafe, the brewer's art, and golden west cafe. we also loved exploring the american visionary art museum where we oohed and ahhed, sighed with compassion, and laughed with delight and silliness! it's a fabulously curated exhibit that's adoringly filled with all sorts of insights into the things that make us smile.

there was a room titled, "toots suite" and it was decorated with all sort of fart related artworks. in the center of it all was a bench that was decked out with self inflating whoopee cushions--oh man! i had a ball! and so did the other museum goers who were tooting up a storm!

fart jokes very naturally lend themselves to poop jokes and this reminded me of a particularly exuberant and charismatic student named june. one day, he informed me that he had to go to the bathroom and asked to go, quickly. (insert the classic holding of the crotch and running in place motion.) i gave him permission to go and that's when he totally dished out too much (but funny!) information. he said, "teacher, i can tell it's going to be a BIG ONE."

wow.
thanks, june.
for being so memorable!
and for making me smile.
