Hey, guess what today is!

Sunday?

Yes, but what else?

May the third.

Okay, but what is special about today?

I had two eggs for breakfast instead of one.

No, I’ll give you a  clue.  He-he!

Who-who?

No,  not he-he as in him-him,  he-he as in ha-ha!

Now you sound like a donkey.

That’s he-haw-he-haw.  Here’s another clue.

Now you look like a donkey.

Look again.

You just cleaned your teeth?

No, my expression, what is it?

It’s enough to scare a donkey.

Now you are making me cross.

Calm down.

How can I? Grrrrrrrr!

Got it, National Get Frazzled Day. 

NO!

I know what tomorrow is.

WHAT?

The day after World Laughter Day! 

But-but-but …….

People are making end of the world jokes like there’s no tomorrow! 

EH?

Go on, smile or have you forgotten what today is?

    Thanks for joining in our prompt. Isn’t this how it often works out: frazzled today, funny tomorrow. 😉

        I friend asked one time: Why is it when we have a really embarrassing thing happen, one we hope no one has witnessed, before long we want to tell everyone about it?
