Perspective
Kids: “YAY! The ground is covered in beautiful fun fluffy snow!”
Me: “You still have to go to school.”
Kids: “This sucks.”
Me: “This sucks.”
My Boss: “Roads are slick. You can work from home today.”
Me: “YAY! The ground is covered in beautiful fun fluffy snow!”
Death Metal Grocery
Mid-Fifties grocery cashier lady: “What is Chaotic Neutral?”
Me: “Huh? Oh, my shirt. It’s just a gaming terminology joke.”
Her: “Sounds like a death metal band.”
Me: “Yes, it really does.”
Her: “I like death metal. Last night it was Goatwhore. And alcohol. It always starts with alcohol.”
Me: “Not the conversation I expected to have at Kroger.”
Her: “I get that a lot.”
Me: “I’m not complaining.”
