Let me here you say way-ohh (way-ohh!)! In keeping with yesterday’s theme of cards, I thought I would blog about something I recently heard of when one of my favorite high school teachers/friend on Facebook (that’s cool, right?) became a fan of them. (As a side note, if you Facebook, you can become a fan of Funtalia now, too. How awesome is that?) Anyway, the object of my ex-teacher’s fanship is something called Boom Boom! Cards.
I was intrigued by the weird name, so I went to their website to investigate further. Apparently, these are sold as a set of 26 cards that each encourage a specific random act of kindness (or “guerilla goodness” in their words). Once the goodness has been passed on, so is the card. It’s the Pay It Forward spirit bundled into “the first ever kit for a social revolution.” I thought it sounded nice, but not too original…untilllll. Until I realized that you can register the cards on their site and then track each card’s progress once they’ve moved out of your hands. Pretty cool, right? If you want to see how far a little kindness can go, these cards are the key. They even offer a teen edition especially for you. If you buy a deck, please make sure to use your “Buy a new car for your favorite blogger” card on me, so you can hear me gleefully burst out with my favorite expletive, “HALEY JOEL OSMENT!!!” (Yeah, I’m pretty sure the majority of my references completely fly over the heads of my “target” audience. Hopefully, it encourages a little study on your part. Try to keep up! 
)
So have you ever had a Pay It Forward moment? Did it end with Donald Trump paying off your mortgage? Did that really happen?
*By the way, happy Friday the 13th! Take my advice and stay inside today. If you need me, you can find me with my creepy black cat in my lap, opening an umbrella (ella ella) with one hand and breaking a mirror with the other, under a ladder indoors all day.
It’s just waaay too unlucky to leave the house today!

Those are cool! Unfortunately, I haven’t paid it forward recently, but I do think I’ve been receiving backwards quite a bit. Is that even possible?
