Why have a “funtastic” day?
March 18th, 2009 | Published in Uncategorized
Bored with the superficial greeting, “Hi. How are you?” I routinely ask people instead, “Hi, are you having fun?” The greeting usually makes people stop, smile, consider what they’re doing, and then say something like, “Yeah, I guess I am.” If they’re not having fun, then they usually say something that opens the door for a word of encouragement or an actual meaningful conversation.
And, being a fan of Charlie Tremendous Jones as a late teenager, I enjoy the thought “life is tremendous,” which I translate into my own words, “Life is fantastic.”
So, desiring that others both have fun and a fantastic day, I shortened my wish to “I hope you’re having a funtastic day!”
Which, by the way, I hope you are.
