Humor: Losing weight

by Mereshia De Nobrega

Created on: January 15, 2009

Hey guess what? I'm on a diet. Yes we know we can see that mom, your on a sea-food diet. Everything you see you eat. Yes there I was the joke again at our dinner table. Mom don't you start your diet every Monday and by Tuesday it is over my son ask me, More laughter from the rest of the family.

Then the whole diet history came out they all wanted to give a story about my diet attempts. One wanted to tell a better joke then the next one, you would think they were going to get paid for telling all my eating habits. Do you remember when mom went on a liquid diet she was caught red handed with a chicken leg in her hand, then she started shaking her body and said she is liquidizing the chicken like that.

Of course I was not laughing with them now. I wanted to but kept a straight face. Here one more remember when she started on the cabbage diet. Now even I could not hold out this one I was giggling, Oh yes the whole house could not stand the smell from all that farts. So I said but it was silent then the little one chip in and said silent but violent. more shrieks of laughter.

Oh remember when she went on that pineapple diet after two days mom could not close her mouth because the acid burned her mouth so bad. Looking at them laughing at me, I just had to say remember the last to laugh will be me. I'm going to do it this time I said. They all look at me seriously now, then they all burst again with laughter. Then one more had to tell a diet joke again guys guys remember when she went on the smelling essence diet mom had to smell the essence before she had to eat but instead she smelt it after she ate. That nothing the other one said remember when she came home with two bags full of beans and she had to swallow five beans every morning before anything else she open the bags and they were all the same watermelon pits and pumpkin pits when she went back to get her money the guy was gone she never checked her bags before she came home she been had. Now I was laughing with them I so wanted to lose weight I believed anybody that said they know how I can lose weight. Just thinking back on some of the ideas made me laugh.

But of course hubby must add insult to and injury by adding his say, remember when mom went on the green tea diet? Oh yes all said Yes Yes we never went out for two weeks because mom had to be near a toilet. I had to speak up now and told them the joke is over now. And I will lose weight one day may be sooner then you all think.
