Wit- where art thou??

So, I'm listening to the same morning radio show that I listen to every morning. And this morning in particular, I am struck by how witty these two dj's are. Which reminds me how un-witty I am. Sure, I can be sarcastic, have really super elementary jokes and occassionally a good zing. But, I lack the quick wit. Hey- isn't that what they used to label people that were "different." Wasn't it called slow witted? I can't remember. So, don't go jumping to any conclusions or jokes on my behalf. I am not labeling myself as needing to ride the short bus. I am talking HUMOR people, humor. I wish I had quicker comebacks, perfect little funny sayings to say at just the right time (that were appropriate and not awkward). Grrr! What is one trait you wish that you had???

I wish I could be assertive. And sing. And filter the inappropriate from the appropriate things that come out of my mouth.

and your brother stole everyone's soul, erm, I mean wit. Yes, wit. Although there is still plenty of room for him on the short bus. Derrrr.

I think the term is "Dim-witted", which I only know because I was so labeled. I was also told growing up that I was "big-boned" during my chunky preteen years. Ahhh the joys...ok I'm not totally serious there, I swear! I wish I could be softer, more loving and patient toward others and not such a witch. Sometimes I just feel like a hag. It's pretty sad, actually. I also wish I could fly, but without wings.
