What's u...Ugh, this resonates so well with me! What's up with us not being able to say NO?! This is how we end up getting in over our heads and biting off more than we can chew. And how we end up becoming Jehovah's Witnesses. Hilarious post!

Only rain would keep us indoors. This neighborhood also has a very large Jehovah's Witness population. They would always come around just as we were sitting down to dinner, meaning that by the time we finally got to eat, everything was cold and the bugs were having a blast.<br /><br />One evening we were having a barbecue with a bunch of friends when the Jehovah's Witnesses started making their rounds. One of the men visiting, Josh, let us know that he'd take care of things so that we could eat in peace. Josh is nothing more than a 3 year old boy in an adult sized body. He ran up to the 2 young men coming down the street, bounced up and down and greeted them more or less in the same way you would expect from a puppy who's been left home alone all day.<br /><br />Hiya!, Josh beamed. How are you this evening? It's so great to see you!<br /><br />The young men were a little perplexed. No one greets the Jehovah's Witnesses like long lost friends. Cautiously they asked Josh if he was a believer.<br /><br />No, said Josh. Well, I believe in God and I go to church and I have a Bible, but I'm not so sure about the whole Jehovah's Witness deal. But I sure am glad to see you guys!<br /><br />Why is that, may I ask? one of the men dared to ask.<br /><br />Because you have a clip board and I love clip boards! Josh exclaimed before whispering reverently, Can I hold it?<br /><br />The Jehovah's Witnesses have never been by again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983103837045165921noreply@blogger.com
