While browsing Barnes and Noble I found this interesting book in the Self Help section called "You Are Good At Things a Checklist" by Andy Selsberg. It caught my eye and made me laugh a little.. The book is a series of things to check off to make you feel better about yourself. Here's some of that I thought I could check off..
- Noticing new haircuts
- making it to the hotel pool before it closes
- Sensing how many sheets the stapler can handle
- Inserting swear words into regular words
- misquoting
- wearing pants
- Estimating if a crowded elevator is overweight
- Applying reverse psychology
- Applying double reverse psychology
- Making dismissive gestures
- Announcing you could make a salad at home for cheaper
- Tying shoes and ties on someone else's body
Having very specific ideas about how you like your tea
- Laughing at yourself
- Signing documents on other peoples backs
- Pulling a Fast one
- Assuming it will all be online
- Living the dream
Some of the one's I haven't done… but thought were funny:
- Getting out of bone marrow donation requests
- Telling Professional Coaches what to do (I had quite a few old boyfriends that could do this)
- Knowing just how high you can toss a baby before it gets dangerous.
- Being fearless about trying other people's prescriptions
- Straddling the line between appropriate and inappropriate butt patting
- Scrubbing away shame in the shower
- Wiping that smirk off your face
- Knowing the appropriate level of participation and enthusiasm when at a worship service not of your religion.
- Following through with threats to write a children's book.
- Announcing whenever you're keeping it real
- Catching drifts
- Keeping the line moving
This is a cute and funny book.. It will make you laugh.
