DIY smiles

I was having kind of a crappy day, and happened to be in our local home improvement store. Rounding a corner I met another, also beleagured, do-it-yourselfer. They were pushing a door on a cart, talking to their delightfully engaging small child that was riding politely along:

*heavy sigh* Yeah, we’re putting a new door in…

Then that moment of eye contact where we successfully avoided a crash, I grinned and said:

That’s okay. You’ll get through it.

Pause.

Then belly laughter. (From them, then me.)

That totally turned my day around. And dare I wonder about theirs…?

As I continued on to the checkout, I realized that I had been holding onto thoughts that continued to contribute to my less-than-awesome day. Looking down at the toilet seat in my hands, I decided then and there that I woudn’t stand for it…

Did you catch the other wordplay humor references…?
