playing with your shirt

November 13, 2006

Once, on the way to class, my preschooler discovered he had nothing for show-and-tell. Thinking quick but without much inspiration, I told him to share his shirt (an ordinary flannel number).

Fast forward to the present, and technology comes to the rescue. Imagine what you could do with one of these, Chris.

My mind processes everything differently with a cold. Several times a week I pick up an egg or two in the morning. Today when I reach for the eggs, the famous lyrics pop into my head, and I’m having to forcibly remove them.
