Hi! My name is Helene and you can find me blogging over at Helene in Between. 

When Julia asked me to guest post I was like YEAH. DUH. Because I heart her big time.

Anyway, Julia's blog title "A Blonde Walked into a Blog" always make some think of a story.

So I thought I would tell you one. 

Living life as a blonde, sometimes we get picked on. You know, for being stupid.
When really we are smart. I promise.
But there was this one time. When I didn't get the joke.

I was in Ireland. How I got there I don't remember.

JK. My parents teach a study abroad program in London and so I got to tag along. We would also travel around a little bit and my mom had a friend in Ireland, so we decided to visit. 

I had just graduated high school and I was lucky enough to get to bring my boyfriend at the time (Michael, who I eventually married). 

We were saw the beautiful scenery and walked all over the town.

Well, as we were gallivanting, my mom's friend, JJ the Irish (that's what I like to call him) told us a joke: "Two Blondes Walk into a Bar, You Think the Second one would have seen it." 

Michael, Myself and JJ

Now before you laugh out loud or stare at the screen- did you get this joke? 

Because I did not. 

And neither did my mom. 

Michael, my Dad and JJ the Irish are all laughing at the joke, but mainly because my mom and I could not get it. 

And they wouldn't explain it to us. 

FOR HOURS.

We were prancing around Ireland and I was just pondering the meaning of this joke.
I couldn't think about anything else. 

I seriously could not get it. 

Finally they told me: One girl literally walks into the bar. (Still didn't get it). No Helene, she walks into the bar, like walking into a brick wall. And then the other one follows.

Ohhhhhh. I get it. 

I guess the moral of the story is to always act like you understand a joke.

Or just laugh at yourself.

Also, I promise I'm not really that stupid. 

I just had a minor lapse in understanding that happened to last an entire day.
