Tasty, Shocking, Beautiful, Exciting, & Unexpected

Tasty: eating homemade peach pie for breakfast.

Shocking: when you're talking with an elderly lady and as you visit, she refers to your younger brother as your son. And you find yourself a little distracted throughout the rest of the conversation thinking, "Did that just happen? I thought I looked young!"

Beautiful: watching a gorgeous bride beam on her wedding day.

Exciting: receiving a long, hand-written letter in the mail from your dear friend who lives halfway across the country.

Unexpected: when the nine-year-old boy you babysit asks you out of the blue, "So, do you have any plans? Are you gonna get married?"

Secretive, Discouraging, Sweet, Terrifying, & Hilarious

Secretive: when you go have ice cream after church softball on Monday, just like you always do. But you don't tell anyone that when you were in town with a friend early that day, you had ice cream then, too.

Discouraging: the price of airline tickets to Hawaii.

Sweet: when your mom is excited the whole day because she can hardly wait for the date your dad is taking her on in the evening.

Terrifying: it's late and you're lying in bed editing pictures on your laptop. You feel something on your arm, so you look down...only to find the biggest daddy long-legs spider you've ever laid eyes on walking up your arm. You somehow brush it off, grab it with a tissue, and bring it downstairs alive to show your mom and sister (the one who absolutely despises spiders). They are also disturbed, and you end this spider's life. You feel a sense of accomplishment, yet at the same time wonder if you'll be able to sleep tonight.

Hilarious: playing hide-and-seek while babysitting. The six year old girl comes into the room you're hiding in and declares, "If you're in this room, say, 'Ooga booga!'"

Wonderful, Delicious, Frustrating, Convenient, & Nerve-Wracking

Wonderful: it's Friday, and everyone seems a little happier.

Delicious: when you eat dinner at your babysitting job. But when you get home that night and realize what a wonderful meal your mom cooked that you missed out on, you decide to eat a second dinner (even though it's already after 9:00).

Frustrating: when the internet isn't working (again). And you just want to contact the president of the internet to let him know the turmoil you're going through. But I guess you can't do that either, now can you? May we endure this with patience.
 
Convenient: to have godly friends you can text who know the reference to that verse you can't find in your Bible.

Nerve-wracking: starting your piano lesson at your music teacher's house. And there's an annoying fly in the room, so your teacher finds a flyswatter. She then explains to you that, while she doesn't want to scare you, if the fly happens to land on you, she will smack it. And so, as you play, you're just waiting for that moment...
