The highlight of my week

I am not a really funny person. I don't remember jokes easily. I like to laugh, but I don't generate much hilarity on my own. So when something strikes me as really funny it's like this divine gift. I savor it. While I was in the nursing mother's room today I heard one of those things that will make me happy for years. Let's hope I can do justice to this great piece of entertainment:

A friend was relating this conversation she had with her husband about our Relief Society Christmas party where I played my guitar while we sang carols.

Husband: How was the Christmas party? Was it nice?

Wife: Yeah, it was nice. Jody played her guitar and we all sang along. It was fun.

Husband: (looking confused) Jody played her guitar?

Wife: Yes, she played her guitar and we all sang Christmas carols.

After a few minutes, the husband was still sitting there looking baffled and thoughtful, so the wife had to find out what was going through his mind.

Wife: What are you thinking about?

Husband: Didn't you just say Jody played air guitar while you all sang along?

What a priceless mental image. I'm thinking we should try it for next year's party.
