A Random Act Of Stupidity

Random acts of stupidity, cheap thrills, as I like to call them, are cheap entertainment! They don't cost you a penny! That is, of course, if you aren't hurting anyone else's feelings or property.

Random acts of stupidity happen a lot around April Fools' Day or Halloween, but of course my random act of Stupidity happened around Christmas! I never have any ideas for pranks at the correct time of the year in fact, I'm usually the one pranked on practical joke holidays.

Every year the same people fool me on April Fools' day. I hate it because I know what day it is, and they still get me every year! It's ridiculous. My son threw a fake lizard on me this past year while I was asleep and I screamed so loud you would have thought the ceiling caved in! Well, I may not be ready on April Fools day but I m great with a random act of making a fool of myself any time of the year.

I'm a single parent, and when my son was small and I recently divorced , Christmas time was stressful.
One year while sitting with a friend and my little boy (my son was a baby then)
in a fast food restaurant, we started talking about Christmas.

I was telling her how I needed to budget my money carefully, when she came up with a proposition for me! She said ,"What if you got on the table and sang whatever that song is you love so much right in the middle of the restaurant?"

We looked at each other, while pondering the question and both smiled like children. Then she said, "What do you think people would do?"

We were so young (although, I think it's funny today) we decided there was only one way to find out. Guess what I did? You got it! For fifty dollars, I got on the table in a fast food restaurant, and sang the song, New York, New York! My son, who was 18 months old at the time, sang back up!

My friend didn't think I was going to do this of course, but I really wanted to get my son a particular gift for Christmas! I'm lucky I didn't end up in jail!
