When Wanda and Sylvia met by chance in heaven, they started a funny chat that everyone would enjoy. As they talked about how they met and died too soon, they were filled with unexpected wit and humor.
She said, “I froze to death.” “How awful!” was Sylvia’s quick, caring reaction. Wanda’s casual answer, “It wasn’t too bad,” caught her off guard. “Once I stopped shaking, I fell asleep on my own.”
Then Sylvia told her own story. She said, “I had a heart attack and died.” “I thought my husband was cheating, so I rushed home to catch him in the act.” But it turned out that her assumption was wrong. “He was just watching TV,” she said. “I searched the house, the attic, the basement, and every closet until I collapsed from exhaustion… and died.”
Sylvia laughed out loud when Wanda replied, “Too bad you didn’t check the freezer—we’d both still be alive!” Their happy talk turned into a funny lesson to find the funny side of life’s unexpected turns and twists.
At that time, Wanda and Sylvia showed that laughter and a clear head can win even in the worst situations. Their chance meeting in heaven turned into a celebration of the silly things that happen in life, which reminds us to smile even when we think about death.
