Away and Back Again

Walking to work one day, a mother walked by with her daughter by her side. As I passed them, I overheard the daughter say to her mother, "Mom I forgot my stuffed animal!". At that moment, an image of a taxidermic raccoon flashed in my mind. Frozen in its position- on its hind legs, front paws clawing the air, and teeth gnashed- it was being dragged by the little girl by one of its paws. Whatever happened to Kid Sister and Pound Puppies?

If you see a person rolling something back and forth between their fore finger and thumb, 90% of the time it's a booger. A nice, slimy, freshly-picked, booger. And the rolling is usually followed by a flicking of the booger, out the car window or off to the side.

I forgot to wear a belt to work yesterday and I felt naked.

People have got to stop littering in front of my house. Please take your gum wrappers, cigarette butts, newspapers, plastic bottles, and paper cups, and throw them in a damn trash can. Don't throw them on my property. It's not a city street, it's my home, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't leave your trash all over it.

Howcome when I finally mow the lawn, the grass seems to grow back faster? And now that my parents are coming back from Thailand, it's going to seem like I haven't mowed the lawn in weeks. That's just great.
