This Happened Yesterday

“What was the funniest thing that happened today?”

The question looked out of my new journal. I didn’t know, so I sat pondering for a while. Then I leaned over my shoulder and asked to nobody in particular: “Hey, what was the funniest thing that happened today?” My brothers were washing the dishes. The youngest, drying a plate with a warm red towel, instantly shouted “This one!” and immediately afterwards the sink made a funny noise and a LOT of dishwater glugged up the drain, like extra gross backwash. I don’t think that was planned, but everybody laughed. So that’s what I put in my journal: when I asked and the sink glugged.
