Little thoughts that I felt needed to be documented so they could be remembered and perhaps expanded upon later.
So I print out strips of receipt tape and get them illegibly scrabbled down.
So, Here are a few of them
On Killing Bees:
-The bees look to be in so much pain when they die.
It's nearly human, the agony.
You've snuffed out something so small
but purposeful.
-The Bee Peoples of the Northern Garden Hut are mourning the recent loss of their queen.
On Weather and Things Like It:
-Aw. Nice. Boob sweat.
-My arm hair is bleaching in the sun.
-It smells of "gonna rain"
-I need some cooler pants. It's hotter than blue blazes out here.
Inside and Around:
-Today I inadvertently set someone up for a "that's what she said joke"
A woman comes up to me
she says
I'm getting one of those chairs, a woman told me you had more and that she'd bring one up.
So, I help her check out and
before she leaves say
she was bringing one of those up for you, you said?
she responds
"that's what she said"
a line of people chuckled
-I lost the almost-best pen in the world.
It's just a little bit less than what a perfect pen should weigh
and writes just shy of heaven.
oh zebra, return to me
-A man comes in and says to me
You know, it makes sense that your name is Libby because your hair is the color of pumpkins
I know exactly what he means. I get this all the time
but his wife looks at him
"honey. that makes NO sense"
shaking her head
-It's nearing flag day and this women calls in wondering if we have "Don't tread on me" flags.
No. No we don't. Ethan and I exchange amused looks.
-It's official: Irish accents are best thing in the world.
Things I learned
My ability to think creatively drops dramatically when I'm hot.
i love these. so clever and wise of you.
