It sure sounded funny in my head

I was thinking back to things I’ve done in the past that, when you think about them in your head, they seem funny. Then, after you do them, you realize you look like an asshole. The best example I can recall happened when I was about 8 years old. My mom had taken me out to a movie and we got a big box of Goobers. On the way home, we had about 3/4 of the box left. I asked if she wanted some. She said she did. Rather than trading the box back and forth (she made us sit in the back seat), she told me to eat what I wanted and then give her the box and she’d have the rest. So I ate and ate and ate… until there was exactly 1 lonely chocolate covered peanut left in the bottom of the box. I giggled a bit as I handed her the all but empty box… she took it from my hand, felt that it was quite lite and then shook. The sound of the lone nut rattling around in the box was quite funny… to me. My mom, however, failed to see the humor in it. She gave me a nice talking to about sharing with people and especially with somebody who had just taken you to the movies, bought you soda, popcorn and candy… Man, even at 8 years old, I realized immediately how much of an ass I was for doing that.

Mom, if you read this, I’m still really sorry about that.
