Play Tip of the Week
Family Funny Book
When my son was a little boy, my mother said to me,
"Write those funny stories down. You will never re-
member them later ." So I took her advice, and started
our Family Funny Book. I write down quick little episodes
that happen that are silly or sweet. Then at the end of the
year we have quite a collection of hilarious moments.
(These stories are collected in a 3-ring binder.)
We have kept this book for nine years, and it has many pages.
I actually didn't mention the book to my son for some years
because I thought he might be sensitive about some of the
funny little episodes I recorded. Now that he is older, he enjoys
reading from our "funny book" of family stories, and he is very
proud of it. The book is his own personal history, kept lovingly
in a worn, reused 3-ring binder, and one of our greatest
possessions.
