They advertised it as a small parade of sorts that would drive through different areas over the course of a month so that we could all still experience Zoolights. well my husband and went out to see it when it came to our neighborhood and it was so bad. Just a flat bed truck with a poor person in a panda costume and some cheap lights. It also SPED through the streets and we and the families that were with us had to sprint to try to catch a better look. Kids started crying. My husband and I just stopped and started belly laughing at the whole thing. We really needed that laugh - we were going to be separated from all our families for that holiday season and needed thejoy. I still think about it.

Or "come get my 3 broken records collection, all goes to the first one to come" or "one used child's snow shoe for sale". Basically trying to get someone to take their trash and making it sound like upcycling. It's soooo funny.
I love the ones that are so specific asking people for things like
"Before buying new, does anyone have a leftover poster party decoration of Spiderman saying "happy 6th birthday Connor". I can pick up."

I took her on a walk one day and we passed this guy and he said "Hi, how are you?" in the manner where you don't really expect an answer. Well, my 3yo stopped dead in her tracks and said "I'm ok, but my mommy's not. She blows up the potty 8, 9, 10 times every day!!!"
This random dude and I literally laughed until we cried and it felt so special because it was at the height of lock down and social isolation. It took me a good 5+ minutes to be able to even get words out that she meant "throws up" not "blows up".
I can only imagine what he went home and told his family

I remember watching it at work, and my boss coming in - I was laughing so hard and so I played it again then he started cracking up - more people kept coming by and so we kept replaying it. After a while my boss (who was a 70 year old doctor) and I were laughing so hard that we both had tears running down our cheeks and we couldn’t catch our breath to speak.

You could not script more perfect timing, or a more perfect toddler.
