Lame Joke

Just about a week ago, I celebrated my 20th birthday. At this age, you can't expect to get a lot of stuff from your loved ones. Just to be sure, I always remind my parents that I still want a birthday cake on my birthdays (with number candles, of course).

On the day of my birthday, I found Betch E really sweet for her gesture. She gave me a pack of Skittles candy. Although I prefer the the original flavors, any pack of sweets will make me happy anyway- until she made the lame joke.

Right after she greeted me a happy birthday and gave me a hug, she gave me the pack of Skittles. Why did she give me Skittles for a gift? Because the name of my dog is Skittles. Is that even funny? Is it funny to eat one's dog?

Later that day, she just had to repeat it. She even added a new line, telling me the pack of Skittles was actually for Skittles. Because her birthday was just three days away from mine, I had to laugh. Her joke made the pack of Skittles turn white, like my dog.

Anyway, I appreciate it a lot. Thank you Betch E for your present. You are a very sweet girl, unlike Betch A who has nothing better to do than to ask when the joint birthday dinner treat will be. She doesn't even eat. I haven't opened the pack, because I plan on sharing it with you and the others on the Thursday we meet again!
