I know this shows my age, but I remember a time when people spoke in sentences not peppered with the word “like”.

Being Thankful

So she asked me what I’m thankful for this year, and I said “I’m thankful for 55 years of not spontaneously combusting”.   And that’s supposedly a real thing, and one that seems like it would totally suck, so I thought it was a pretty good answer.  Anyway, she didn’t like the answer, so I said, “I’m also thankful for puppies.” Then she said “Yeah, Ok.”, with this dismissive tone and a smirk on her face.   And I’m like, so you don’t like puppies OR half a century of successfully evading spontaneous combustion?  Is there no pleasing you?  Anyway, I hope I get the loan.

Fall Forward

I predict that the clock in my car will soon be wrong for the next six months.
