You Had To Be There..

The other night at work there was a nurse from the other unit who came over to talk and she said I have a story. A little back ground on this gal. She is a mother of nine, works part time, and goes to school. Not to mention her children are in various activities. She is going to school to get her masters degree in nursing. Where she finds the time for everything I am not sure. She is also a Mormon. With that said in comes the "story". She was having clinical where they were told they were going to have to dress in a hospital gown so that they could do assessments on each other, but the teacher had said they could keep there under garments on. Now she is Mormon and she wears the garments okay. So she thought that she would go get underwear for this occasion. She went to Wal-mart to the underwear department now mind you she also said that she hasn't bought underwear for 22 years. She was a bit over whelmed with all the different styles of underwear there are, not to mention the fact the sizing. She was trying to find the size by what size pants she wears when that clearing wasn't right. A sales person ask her if she needed help and she thought about it for a minute and thought how could she tell this person she hasn't bought underwear in 22 years, so she opt to tell her no she was good. She ended up getting the boys style underwear she thought they would cover up more than the other choices. Well she said she never had so many wedges in her life! I told this to nursemom last night and she chuckled. The thing is the story always sounds better when told by the person who's story it is . I know when she was telling me this story I thought it was pretty cute and funny. I relaid it to nursemom and I guess I told it pretty good since she chuckled a little. My point is that sometimes stories don't seem as funny when they are retold by someone else. The same goes with jokes. I am terrible at trying to repeat a joke I have heard from someone else that made me roll on the floor laughing. So I come home and try to tell that same joke to my husband as I am laughing still and than when it comes to the punchline well I usually mess up and my husband is like I don't get it how did you find that funny. Well I guess you had to be there!!
