Telling Stories

Telling stories is a great way to spend time. Tonight, I had just 2 teenagers in class, and after our lesson we sat around telling silly stories about oursleves for 15-20 minutes. It was great! I won't tell their secrects...but I will tell one I remembered about myself tonight.
When I was about 16 or 17, I had marching band 5 days a week, and also worked 5 days a week (I had to buy clothes!). Well, I worked until about midnight (labor laws not enforced those days...) a couple days a week, and would ride my bike to and from work. I remember one really long week, I was ssooo tired from everything, I actually fell asleep on my bike. I was rudely and abruptly awaken by a parked car, which I ran into. Not one of my finest moments, but a funny story to tell.
As we talked this evening, I imparted the wisdom of one of my theories in life to the girls. I beliieeeevvvvve...we all need 3 things:
1. We need to hear bad jokes (and even want to!)
2. We need to be scared (not a life of fear, but movies, roller coasters, etc.)
3. We need to be grossed out (its competition)
The third one was confirmed by the Bible story we read tonight-2Chronicles 21-how King Jehoram died. How's your curiosity?
So, what do you think? Agree?
