WEEK 241A joke gone wrong

What a pleasure to be here and share with you, I have put action and hands to work on what I have set for this new year, a 2025 that I wish to be prosperous and joyful for each of us.

I have made very few jokes in my life, I really should have stopped after making the first one, that was a revelation that came to me that this was not my forte, it was not my gift, that I would not serve to play jokes on anyone. Let me explain.

My first memory of a joke played, devised and planned as a mastermind was to my grandmother Maria, we called her peep affectionately.

In my house when I was about 7 to 8 years old, I remember that there was an old refrigerator, it was too old, and it took a long time to cool the water. That's why I used to put water in a glass to cool it faster, so I didn't have to wait for the water in the pitcher to cool down.

What happened when I went to the fridge to get my glass, my grandmother had drunk it and by the way I was not able to refill it, but left it in the fridge empty.

That bothered me too much. So I thought, I had to do something to get her to stop drinking water from a glass that she hadn't even put in the fridge.

That's how it occurred to me one day to fill the glass, put it to cool, but this glass of water would be different, because I would add salt to it.

I wanted her to drink a glass of super salty water when she had her drink of water.

And without thinking, I looked for my glass, I put a lot of pear in it, a lot of salt and water, it was an aluminum glass, this material helps the water to cool quickly, I put it in the fridge and I left.

No doubt God protects the Innocent.

Yes, it is really like that.

Time passed, hours, and I went to the fridge to get water, because I got thirsty, and guess who drank the glass of salt water? ME! I drank the glass myself as a joke for my grandmother, it was very, very salty, I spit it out and I felt sick for hours.

I fell into my own trap.

And now that I'm older I say that it's a good thing, since my grandmother was hypertensive and maybe I even passed her to the next world with that glass of salty water.

I have a terrible memory for that, in high school the same thing happened to me, I wet a desk with water so that a friend would sit down and I ended up sitting down myself. So no, I quit, the few jokes I made, I made them to myself.
