Dude: …
Dude: “It’s funny because it’s true.”

Thank you, Facebook, for suggesting “Friends” from junior high, so I can see all the kids that called me a nerd and picked me last in gym. But thank you most of all for showing me that I look happier now than they do. I was probably happier then, too, but didn’t know it.
When I saw it was a rainy, grey day, I groaned and wanted to go back to sleep. When my kids saw it was a rainy, grey day they jumped and danced and sang and grabbed their new raincoats. Perspective is important.
