How to be positive and something funny to laugh at

When I was about 14 I was invited to a girls pool party at a big rich house on the hill. When I arrived all the kids were playing and having fun in the pool. I put on my swim trunks and I was getting ready to get in the pool, and one of the girls comments "Ewww, look a that kids chest", all the girls huddled together and gave a giant snicker. I knew she was talking about me and laughing at me. At that age, I had some hair on my chest, which was kinda odd for a kid my age. So like a kid, I just shrugged it off and matter of fact, I ended up playing with most of those girls and girl that owned the house. So, the party ended, I went home and thought nothing more for a long time.
About 4 or 5 years later, I was walking down the main street in the city I live in and there she was, the girl that was laughing at me. She was walking with what looked like her Mom, down the sidewalk on the opposite direction as me. The both of them appeared to be rich and snooty. Again, she huddled with her Mom and snickered. So, as I was walking by, I pulled up my shirt and went "Bahhhh". I startled her and her Mom so good, that her Mom jumped up... the expression on her face was priceless! So I just continued walking forward and just had this huge smile on my face. I thought to myself "She'll think twice about making fun of people different herself". I laughed inside for merely an hour. This is an example of a real situation in life, makes you think before you do something. What comes around goes around. So I took a negative moment, faced my humility and turned it into a positive thing. I thought I was lucky to pass by them again, somethings happen for a reason. Now more than ever, we need to accept people different then ourselves. You don't always have to be their friend, but see who they are before you judge them. Put a smile on your face and remember, Jah is Alive.
