Why Is It ...

… that the two reasons why I don’t trust people is that [A] I don’t know them, and [B] that I know them.

… that I learn best from the mistakes made by people who took my advice.

… that no one gets that I have officially resigned from Adulthood™ and that from now on decisions will be made using the Eenie-meenie-minie-moe Method, arguments will be settled by sticking out my tongue, and that if you need me, I’ll be at recess.

… that just hearing my name can sometimes ruin someone's day and I’m kinda proud of that.

… that I used to think I didn’t like talkative people in the morning because it turns out  it doesn’t matter what time of day it is, I just don’t like dealing with people in general.

… that when I think that I’m the problem, I instantly also think, Never mind, that doesn’t even sound right.

… that they say I am too young to sign up for a nursing home when I am so ready for Bingo at 2PM, dinner at 4PM and bed at 7PM.

… that I’ve only just realized that the way to get someone’s attention is to not want it any more.

… that I can’t summon Alexa to knock the power out at work.

  1. Good ones! Alexa, Siri, and Gemini are all annoying with their lack of abilities to do the important stuff.

    🤔 Yah...but not "nursing home." I have liked the idea of a retirement community for years! I have often wondered why my older relatives fought so hard against getting meals prepared for them, and a short bus to take them wherever, and free activities to pick and choose, and especially aging in place so the "nursing home" specter does even loom anymore!! Well, it's that thought of being thrown away, old and drooling, into a bed in a strange environment and then you die (in a "nursing home" 😱☠️👻)!!
    Me? I'm goin' into the retirement community early, take over as "Ms. Cleora, Queen of the House," get forgiven for drooling, and be checked on every day so I'm not that poor lonely old crone who died a month ago and is stinkin' up the neighborhood!! 🤮
    ✊️ YAH!! 🤣🥰🥳

  3. I no longer give advice, the lawsuits were getting expensive.

  5. I might adopt that for decision-making from now on. And yes, bingo at 2PM sounds like the dream. Thanks for the hilarious and painfully relatable truths

  9. Going to bed at 7 p.m. doesn’t work for me. That’s the time I usually accept the fact that I’m awake.

    1. I am usually in bed at 10 but feel myself inching closer to 7 ....

  10. Bed at 7pm is for small children. Fully qualified adults (like me) go to bed way beyond the witching hour.
