Why Is It ...

… that no one is surprised that I am stepping down from my position as an adult. It turns out that it wasn’t for me, but I appreciate the opportunity.

… that people don’t realize that I’m a nice person until they hit the Bitch Button.

… that when someone asks if I ever think before I post something nasty, I always say, ‘Yeah, and I even laugh and kick my feet a little.’

… that I sometimes feel as if my life is being written by someone who isn’t sure they like me.

… that when someone asks me if I’m an early bird or a night owl I tell them I’m more of a tired afternoon duck.

… that while friends bring you happiness, best friends bring you tequila.

… that I sometimes think I might be the only person that pauses the music to see if the siren is in the song or behind me.

… that no one appreciates it when I give away free samples of my attitude.

… that nearly every morning I wish for someone to go into work for me; just walk in and act like me, no one will notice.

… that my friends keep forgetting that if we are in a non-laughing situation, they should not be looking at me.

    1. If it's somewhere you shouldn't laugh then all I want to do is laugh.

    📻🎶 If sirens are the only noises you pause the music for, you are doing much better than me! Who's honking at me? Has that rattle always been there? Why is that singer screaming at me? 😱🤪🤣
    [🤬💩 GOP jackasses have now called for Charlie Kirk's body to lie in state at the US Capitol! Well, who didn't see that coming?! 🤬💩 These idiots don't ever understand that if every crank they like is given sainthood, nothing is left for their bigger "heroes." When Trump dies, they'll have to put his body on a Space X rocket and shoot him to heaven! "God" knows he'll never get there on his own!! 🤣🤣]

  3. I can assure you, there will come a day when you won't need a stunt double to attend work for you. In my case, and I expect yours, it was/will be the hap, hap, happiest day of your life. While adulting does continue, it's a much more relaxed version. At least that's my experience.

    1. I doubt I'll ever retire. I will wean myself down but will probably volunteer somewhere.

  4. Oh wow! … that I sometimes think I might be the only person that pauses the music to see if the siren is in the song or behind me. I regularly have to tell SG (like we tell the cats) “You’re ok. That’s just the movie.” He’s always interrupting shows and films to ask if that’s a siren outside.

    1. Ozzo used to have fits if we were watching Frasier and the doorbell on the show rang.
      "It's the TV, dog!!!!!"

  5. Stepping down as an adult sounds appealing. I'm not wise and I wish people would stop assuming I am!

    I've been asking that for years. Good luck.

  10. … that I sometimes feel as if my life is being written by someone who isn’t sure they like me.
