So. My friend Jyl… you know — JYL. Like, Mom It Forward Jyl… she tagged me. We were all runnin’ around my yard. She was laughing, I was laughing. We were having the time of our lives! But then I tripped on one of our kids the kiddie pool a blackberry bramble and wouldn’tyouknow she caught me and I was hencetoforth “tagged”. She got spray paint ALL OVER my face.
I was crying laughing so hard she couldn’t hear me beg for mercy, “I am not a freeway underpass! I am not a freeway underpass!” But she just kept tagging me… laughing, laughing, laughing…
Jyl is such a happy person.
It all happened.
Really.
OR she tagged me for a meme. You choose your own truth.
