Often times, the little things will make our day. I'd like to have little thing like winning the Powerball happen to me, but my therapist(s) told me to aim a little lower. "How low?" was not the reply they wanted from me.

What tends to really make our day is when a delightful thing unexpectedly happens to us. I never expect to win the Powerball, I just hope that I do.

If you've ever wondered if a therapist can get suddenly violent, just trust me when I say, "OW. Yes!"

So what kind of things absolutely make our day?

"But what about hearing my baby's first words, Choad?" Look, I didn't make this list, and the people who answered the question didn't bother to mention their baby's first words until #8 on the list.

So according to the people surveyed, they'd rather have a stranger pay them a compliment or let them budge in line for their morning coffee than hear their baby's first words. Ah, the human race.

Loonatics answered this question with:

  • "Morning kisses from my dog Surly" ~Barley
  • "Doughnuts" ~Karl
  • "Getting our shy cat to audibly purr (she usually just vibrates silently)" - Jason
  • "Slapping a coworker" ~Bill (we don't condone this, but most of us probably understand)
  • "Coffee!" ~Karen
  • "A walk with my dog" ~Steven
  • "Call of a Loon" ~Craig
