Life is like:
Making a perfect hardboiled egg, cleaning off every piece of shell and only then realizing you didn't bring any salt or pepper. And that you hate eggs.
Finally understanding the reason your mom taught you the song about monkeys jumping on a bed while you're rubbing a sore noggin. And then getting up to jump again.
Drinking coffee thinking it's tea, spitting it out and making the same mistake six more times.
Waiting at the deathbed of a friend and thinking 'hey, they owe me money.'
Being told that the reason the grass is greener on the other side is because you don't water your lawn.
Testing your mettle by jumping in front of a moving vehicle which happens to be a rogue shopping cart.
Waking up from a nightmare to be greeted with sunshine and the smell of coffee, the arms of a loved one and then you REALLY wake up to an emtpy room and freezing toes.
Expecting the worst and receiving the best.
Singing in a voice so cracked and worn that it actually sounds better than ever.
Writing a book called A Thousand Papercuts and making it out of orange Playdo. And one hidden razorblade.
Being mocked for having a huge candle collection in a time of superior electricity...until "The Storm".
Kisses that taste like snowcones and petrol.
What God said it would be like.
" Once upon a dime..." >R<
