I was driving in the car with Kelsey the other day. I pushed the SYNC button on my steering wheel
and say, “Call home.” Sometimes the SYNC
system doesn’t hear me correctly so I have learned to enunciate more clearly and
say more of a hard “H” sound when giving it the command to call home. The response is, “There are two options. Please say which line you want to choose” or
something to that effect. Kelsey giggles
a little and I say, “Cancel” so I can try again. I push the button again and said “Call home”
a little more loudly and clearly and a little irritated. The response is, “Tuning to Cosmo radio.” Kelsey outright laughs and I glance at the
screen to see the description of the Sirius station Cosmo. It reads, “Love & Sex Show with Dr. Jenn
Berman.” Both frustrated and a little
humored by the station I inadvertently called up, I start to push the button a third
time when Kelsey pipes in, “I think it called up that station because you are putting
too much emphasis on the ‘HO’.”
Hilarious!
I totally love her sense of humor. It is a smart, clever humor that comes out at
unexpected times. Aron has the same
humor. People tend to say they have my
sense of humor but I know just how funny Tim is so I can’t possibly take all
the credit.
As I write this on New Year’s Day while I am avoiding
preparing for the class I’m teaching in a short couple of weeks, I can’t help
but wonder what is in store for the next year.
I’m really looking forward to it which is surprising given my recent
funks and bad-itude. In all honesty,
when I think about the coming year, I feel a sense of excitement much like
looking at a wrapped gift and wondering what is inside. I’m looking forward with hope, anticipation,
and a sense of gratitude. God gave me my
husband and two incredible kids, all who make me laugh, and so much more! And, even more so, He gave me the gift of His
son so that I can have eternal life.
SYNC may not get what I’m saying when I say, “Call home,” but God
certainly does.
