Yesterday, I was telling Iwanski about the pilates class that I had taken in Millennium Park that morning.
“When we were doing a forward fold,” I said to Iwanski, “The teacher said ‘Picture yourself sitting on the couch watching t.v., and there’s something on your lap—like a cat, a dog, or even a person…now picture that it’s a tiger sleeping on your lap. Now, suddenly a new show comes on t.v.—it’s a Barney-Care Bears crossover Christmas special, and it’s going to be on for three hours. You need to grab for that remote control on the coffee table in front of you—but you can’t disturb the tiger on your lap. So lean forward for that remote—but don’t disturb that tiger!’ ”
When I told Iwanski about this, I was thinking that it was a funny image and a brilliant method for getting us to do the forward fold correctly, so as to strengthen our abdominal muscles.
Iwanski sat there thinking for a minute, and then he said, “I would say that if you have a tiger sleeping on your lap, you have much bigger problems than just what’s on t.v.”
That made me crack up. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
I thank God that I’m married to someone who makes me laugh all the time.

bahaha!
Made me laugh too! Sounds like something my hubster would say as well. He sure keeps me amused!
Iwanski is a very wise man. Keep him.
And thank you for sharing Iwanski with the rest of us. He's such a funny guy. I look forward to his funny sayings here and on Facebook.
Not sure I'd disturb the tiger over Care Bears. Maybe Leno.
Lucky girl to have someone who makes you laugh.
My old pal Oscar Wilde once noted
"Nothing spoils a romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman - or the want of it in the man."
I disagree. I think both have to have a good sense of humor and should laugh often.
Your fella is funny, but I'm not sure he's right on this one. Care Bears are pretty awful. I'd chance disturbing a tiger to switch it off. :-)
I love that!! I would be finding the phone and calling someone for help, and the TV was the lesser problem.
