Send to a Friend
How does it make you feel when some one gets the joke, but doesn't get the joke?
My 16 year old grandson came by the other day. I was excited because he doesn’t come by very often.
However, he was there only to pick up some money a friend of his mom’s had left with me.
I had to get a picture of him to log the visit. All the posing in it was his idea because he’s a goof.
So, on FB I said, “My 16 year old grandson came by to visit! He never comes by! And this is all it took!” and I posted this picture.
Well, one of my cousins, who I don’t really know very well, said, “Well, I’d come visit you too if you gave me money.”
This left me a little befuddled. That was the joke. But there was no exclamation mark or smiley face, or anything, to give me a hint that she actually got the joke, so I wondered what she was thinking.
I used to have a co-worker who felt the need to prove she was smarter than anyone else. That’s the kind of thing she would have said, as if to suggest that she saw a twist that no one else, not even the person who posted the comment, saw.
But I don’t know my cousin well enough to know if that’s what she was thinking, or what.
