I will not smile! I will not laugh!
Ha Ha!
I just came from a visit to my new, favorite stylist Jeremy at Cost Cutters, down the road from my home. Last time I was there, I had the audacity to forget to bring ‘goodies’ (LAFOLOT giveaways) in for them! So, this time, I remembered!
I knew Jeremy was working because I saw his car with my ‘Live Life! Laugh Often!’ www.LAFOLOT.com bumber display on the side of the vehicle. I walked in the door with my clown nose on. He was finishing up a customer, so I indicated ‘shhhh’ by putting a finger to my lips, as one of the other stylists had seen me.
Just then, he turned around and called out his familiar: HEY! HELEN! BE WITH YOU IN 10 MINUTES! I signed the ‘sign-in’ sheet with my name, ‘Ha Ha Helen’.
I had brought some of my ‘I Love to LAFOLOT’ … Live Life! Laugh Often! canvas shopping bags with me, a couple pin/buttons, about 6 Pinwheel stress relievers, etc.
When Jeremy was ready, he was thrilled to announce he had been trying to ‘drum up business’ for me! What a sweetie! I thanked him for his efforts and he said he will continue to work on it. He KNOWS people! ;o)
When he was done, I got another ‘taker’ for one of my canvas bags. I had been able to hand out 3 others before I had my hair cut. I also got to give away 3 of my pinwheel stress relievers. One to a customer and two to two other stylists.
I got one of the other stylists and one of the waiting customers to do the A-LO-HA hahahahaha and Straw Smile Grin and Laugh through your teeth, laughs with me!
The funny thing is, there was a woman sitting near the window, with the most stern look on her face. She was not cracking a smile nor a laugh (which was quite all right)! I asked her if she wanted a pinwheel stress reliever?
She respond: “No, I don’t have stress, I GIVE it to OTHER people!” [she still wasn't smiling or laughing.]
I let her alone and asked the other stylist if she wanted one of my smiley face – positive saying bookmarks? She was thrilled and took it.
Then, I had another one in my hand, and said to the lady by the window; “Would you like one of these to STICK it to some other people!” Oh, come on… I said it with a laugh and a smile!
Guess what! SHE LAUGHED AND SMILED! I said; ‘Well! I got you to smile, after all! NOT they you HAVE to! But! You have a BEAUTIFUL SMILE!’ She said ‘Thank you!’ and continued to smile as I was leaving.
Wonder how many HA HA SMILE CAMPAIGN POINTS I got for THAT one!
A fun time was had by all!
This has been a Ha Ha Helen of LAFOLOT moment…
