On Wednesday, I had an idea for a REALLY interesting post about what should and should not be joked about. I have a pretty broad sense of humor, so there aren’t too many things that are safe in my mind, but there are a few.
Well, on Wednesday night, the event that sparked the post in the first place sort of dissipated. So, now I am not going to write the post. What I want to write about is jumping the gun.
We all have a tendency when it comes to one thing or another to get the cart in front of the horse. We assume too much about a situation that we know little about. I am usually pretty good about NOT doing this, but some things just can’t be jokes to me.
The situation in question ended up not even being a situation…even though I had formulated a whole TERRIBLE scenario in my head. I must admit that my imagination got the best of me. When I told a friend the whole story, she laughed at me and, in so many words, told me that I was crazy…which I now agree with.
Why am I even writing this? As a reminder…mostly to myself. Think before I assume. Think about what people are and are not capable of…and think of the repercussions of my actions as I formulate these almost implausible situations. Just. Think. About. It.
