Join The Club

A phrase from a popular TV show tonight sparked my creative juices and so
here it goes. The Phrase was "I am sorry you had to join the club." Now
for those of you who have not watched your TIVO yet I will not elaborate
any further but to say this.
There are many "clubs " we join and all have a unique place in our lives. For
example the I am the girl that just got an engagement ring club. This
club while you are in college is a very important club to be in. The I
just got married club comes along naturally after and the I just got
off my honey moon club is thereafter. All of these Clubs we willingly
join and are happy to consent to the rules of membership. There are
clubs in which we did not even want into but because of circumstances
are forced to join. the my parents or loved one has cancer club,this
club membership is sudden, unrelenting and usually accompanied by high
membership dues. The I have lost a grandparents club is also one that is not one
you want into. In this club you feel as though you have lost a sense of
your history and a piece of your past that no one can ever replace. The
other club that goes along with that one is the I have lost parent club
this club needs a secret hand shake. I have determined this because
that way during the holiday in which that parent is honored you can
tell who is hurting and who is not. And since I am a member of that
club I can say that even the greatest gifts like hand made flower pots
and precious hand prints somehow does not fill the void of the empty
places left by membership into this club. But on a lighter note there
are clubs that the membership meetings are a hoot to attend. Like the I
just had a baby club. No matter how it comes into the world there is a
unique story for every member. Membership meetings contain ladies
sitting around sharing how hard it was, when the pain medication was or
was not administered and how much support they received from male
bystanders who are not in this club. The I am breast feeding club
follows this club and is filled with members who are unashamed and who
have very little modesty left. You can usually find members of this club sitting around with their tops off. There are so many more clubs I could go into like the I had sex in an unusual place club, from what I hear the members of this club are particular to whom they share their meetings with, and with good reason membership in this club might be a hair raising experience.There is another club My husband has been given a vasectomy club these meetings
are only attended by women whose husbands are not in the club but really want them to join up soon. But any club happy or sad are the things that make strangers into friends whether over the internet or across the driveway. And I hope that one day I can join the great blog writers club as some of my friends have.
