Funniest person in my life

EQ says this line almost daily - he has a great sense of humour, quick wit and has our family always laughing, probably inherited from his Dad. So I asked him this week about the validity of his statement, as how can everyone he meet possibly be 'the funniest person in his life', so he clarified.


"So and so is the funniest person I know at school, so and so is the funniest person at TAFE, so and so is the funniest person at work etc"....... So in every circle of his life he is attracted to others with a quick wit and quirky sense of humour too! I found this really interesting and remembered the conversation we had after his first shift at MacDonalds, eighteen months ago now.


Me: "So how was your first shift?"
EQ: " Oh you should meet xxxx, they are the coolest person!"
Me: "So what did you have to do?"
EQ: "Our manager is just the best, she did x,y,z...., I think she'll be really cool to work with."
Me: "So do you think you'll like working there?"
EQ: "It's great to meet new people, xxxx this, xxxx that, xxxx...."


So what does this little transcript tell me/us? EQ is aptly named! He LOVES people and would rather focus on the people at work, than the work itself. Having said that, he gets more shifts than he can do, because he does have a good work ethic and has been commended by his managers for such. So I am not worried that he focuses on people more than the work. He seems to be able to do both. I just love it that he loves people and they are the focus of his life. Some people make us smile on the inside and/or the out, EQ does both. I never did find out what he did on his first shift! Something to do with flipping burgers, oh that's right, it was cooking chicken nuggets!
