Bad Day - Good Laugh

You know those days...the bad ones. The ones where you wake up thinking it's Saturday when it's really only Wednesday....it's day 3 of your lingering pregnancy hormone headache....you leave the house in a huff because your husband mistakenly told you your roots look dark....you get to work only to realize that your Starbucks order is totally wrong....but you drink it anyway because your inbox lovingly informs you that you have 105 unread messages....you go to Kaiser on your lunch break to get pricked by a needle for your 4th lab work order....it's mid-afternoon, but the line is still out the door, meaning you have at least a 25 minute wait....there are sick people coughing everywhere, with no regard to how far their germs fly, so your thinking "I didn't have Swine Flu when I came here, but I bet I will when I leave"....in short your just a HUGE Debbie Downer....

Then amongst all of this, in a waiting room that has PLENTY of adult size chairs, you do a double take, and see two grown women enjoying their reading material, cozied up to a kiddie table, that is about 2 feet off the ground, and you cannot help but laugh out loud, realizing that you really needed that laugh and tomorrow is another day. It is then you are thankful that your phone takes pictures, because chances are, you may need another good laugh later....

Mind you, there is not one single child in this room that these ladies could possibly belong to.
