Yesterday, we saw how Chester the donkey goes about making new friends. Today, I will show a second friend-making method, as illustrated by my pal who has been visiting from Illinois. This method is particularly helpful when trying to warm up an unusually aloof or reserved potential new friend.
First of all, be creative in how you get their attention:
They may appear dumbfounded by your forwardness, but you should remain steadfast and serious:
Realizing that some people** will do almost anything to make a new friend, the aloof, reserved party generally succumbs to the charm:
Making this method, overall, quite successful:
**In this case, my friend, Marcee
Marcee has one heck of a sense of humor not to mention creativity! Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Perfect strategy! So funny!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Marcee!!
ReplyDeleteWow I just got caught up with all of your adventures. Don't you just love the redwoods? One of my favorite places. I am so glad to see that you have the llamas and Chester. It looks like Marcee is making friends quickly. What a fun time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a totally fool proof method. Ask ALL my friends. They will tell you. I wear hay on my head all the time.
ReplyDeleteJust remember tho....and I say this because I almost always forget...and Im a good friend and like to give out reminders...take said hay hat off before you begin fixing dinner. Its much better when you do that. The dinner that is. Not your hair...because normally you will have hat head....Im just sayin.
Is Marcee a fringe benefit of blogging, or did you know her before??
ReplyDeleteI think I am hoping for some of those long distance friendships like in the high school pen pal years...
His face in the 2nd oic says it all! Very, very funny! :D
ReplyDeleteWaaay too funny!
ReplyDeleteGreat sense of humor, Marcee . . . you're too funny! But, hey, it works. I'm gonna remember that trick.
ReplyDeleteSo does this mean when I meet Marcee face to face, she'll be wearing chocolate cake on her head?
ReplyDeleteMarc, you're a Dr. Doolittle for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative! I'll have to remember this method next time I meet someone new. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL - That's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSo, Marcee, do you tailor the head gear to the friend you're trying to make? Say, sushi, should that be the potential friend's favorite food? ;)
That Marcee is so dang clever! I have wondered why she seems to always have M&Ms and Gummi Bears - and so many friends! What a great tip. I'm off to see if I can balance M&Ms and Gummi Bears on my head.....
ReplyDeleteLittle known fact about llamas. They like the smell of coffee on your breath and will lean in for a better smell. The effect is much like receiving Eskimo kisses from them. I'm totally addicted.
ReplyDeleteheh heh
ReplyDeleteDid her hat survive?
note to self: always put food on head.
