How to overcome worry about judgement while talking to strangers at the store (maybe even exchanging jokes)?
I love the way older people strike up conversations with me and my young kids at the store. But I’m always worried I’ll inconvenience someone or that I’m not worth the time.
Gosh, it always lifts my day and brightens my mood. I want to be that person that injects some freshness into someone else’s life. I especially love getting told jokes out of the blue. I’ve encountered some good ones:
- What did the fish say when he ran into a wall?
Dam.
- What did the fish do when it saw the ocean’s bottom?
Blushed.
- What’s a T-Rex’s favourite party?
A T party!
So! Any thoughts you keep in mind about people when you want to talk to someone? What about if they do look annoyed or incredulous? Lastly… got any good jokes?
Thank you for your help!
