​A Funny Thing Happened... Alicia

​A funny thing happened to me on my 16th birthday. Usually, my friends celebrate with me, but this time I thought everyone forgot. My mother gave me only a quick hug in the morning. When I went to school, none of my classmates gave me a card. My grandmother didn't send me a present or call me! I got upset. When I got home, I spoke to my sister on the cellphone and told her about how everyone forgot about my birthday. At that moment the garage door opened and a lot of people came in, and everyone shouted, "Surprise!" They heard everything I said. It was a great surprise party, and we still laugh about it. It was a great joke!

Marie​

​The funniest thing that ever happened to me was when my company interviewed people for a new job. I took a break from doing interviews and walked outside for a while. It was a beautiful day. I stopped for a minute to check my messages. All of a sudden, a young man who was walking very fast fell on me and spilled his coffee on my jacket. He looked at me, but he didn't say "Excuse me." He kept walking. When I got back to the office. I saw him again. He was the next person I interviewed. He was very surprised when I came in! He did not get the job.

​Richard

​One of the most hilarious things that ever happened in my life was when my daughter was only nine or ten months old. I was repairing our house, and I needed paint. I took the baby with me because my wife was very tired. I had a baby carrier that looked like a backpack. I went to the paint store with the baby on my back. I was checking the price when I heard a big noise! My little baby pulled a can of paint from the shelf, and it landed on the floor. There was paint everywhere! She started laughing with joy at the purple color all over the floor! I was shocked at the same time, but afterwards we all laughed.
