The Ridiculous Bumper Sticker That Matched My Ridiculous Gratitude

I Couldn’t (and sometimes still can’t) Stop Laughing!

November 2024, middle school drop-off. The bumper sticker on the car ahead of me made me pause and made my morning.

It read… HONK IF YOU HAVE TO POOP!

I laughed out loud. Hard. The kind of laugh that shakes your shoulders. I wanted to honk so bad — but since I didn’t have to go at that exact moment, I held back.

Then while laughing hysterically, I thought: “Wait a minute! I don’t have to poop right NOW, but I DO have to poop as a human being. So I CAN honk!”

By then, the car was gone, so I didn’t honk. Still, I smiled, thinking…

That’s something to be grateful for.
