Things I'm Terrible At

There are a number of things I'm terrible at. Doing anything crafty tops the list, followed by walking in high heels, cooking and anything requiring opposable thumbs.


The other thing that I am terrible at is telling jokes. I heard a great joke the other day from a friend and I wanted to share and pass along said funny joke because I was on a mission to spread laughter and joy! 


My mission was a complete failure. Why did it fail? It failed because I suck at telling jokes and what ends up happening is that my attempt at telling a joke...is the joke.


Here is a list of things that can go wrong:

1. I move my lips while I rehearse the joke.
2. I start with the punchline, but don’t realize this until the end.
3. When I notice my audience is engaged, I take creative liberty and add my own flair. As always, I go too far.
4. I rush it.
5. I go too slowly.
6. I forget it.
7. I remember it, in the wrong order.
8. I do weird body movements, such as rocking forward or looking off to one side.

I am the destroyer of jokes and I should be ashamed of myself.
