today's laughter

the two funniest moments of my day sadden me; not that they happened, but that i would file them under that category...

a young daughter getting her first taste of the true character of a goose: she was out in front of Panera with her mother, unassumingly feeding the assumingly friendly goose, when it gradually gets closer to her, picking up the pace. The girl stands still for as long as she can stand it, starts backing away. The goose begins to run towards her, the girl running to hide behind her mother. Nothing can save you now. Drop the bread, give the goose what it wants.

a 12 year old anglo boy, dressed nicely enough, in a plaid button down and jeans, on the side of a busy suburbian road, stands in front of a dumpster that comes up to his waist. He looks around (as if to make sure no one is watching him) and starts digging in...wonder what hidden treasure he found...
