Do you love to pop it or not?
Can I get a hell yeah from the peanut gallery? It matters little how old I get, I love to pop bubble wrap. I honestly can not resist!! Whether popping by the traditional jumping up and down method or with the more adventurous butt bounce, bubble wrap never gets old!! There is something about bubble wrap that brings out the kid in me.
When I still worked I was the acquisitions clerk at the local library. One of my many duties was dealing with sending back the damaged, the duplicates, the inappropriate, and the extras. As much of a pain as this could be since I had to contact each individual vendor to discover exactly how and where they wanted their stuff sent, I loved the bubble wrap. I would throw it on the floor and jump up and down on it, laughing my fool head off, while making all those fun explosive pops. That is what I call getting paid to have fun! My co workers would smirk, giggle, and some of the more pious would roll their eyes, but soon they grew used to my antics.
Once I became a mom you can bet I wasted no time at all educating my kids in the joys of bubble wrap. On the rare occasions a package would arrive containing bubble wrap we waste little time in ridding it of its magical pops. Bubble wrap is also a great stress reliever. There is nothing better at bringing about a case of the giggles than slamming you’re a$$ against a full sheet of bubble wrap. I wonder if whoever invented bubble wrap realized the level of fun they were unleashing on the world at the time. As long as there is bubble wrap, I’ll be jumping on it until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
