i’m already ruing this post
April 25, 2016
There are days when you want to celebrate the teeniest of tiniest accomplishments and the best-est (most treacherous) of friends will support you with that, inspire you, and even help inadvertently create public awareness of a lost art.
Me: I did it! I showered! Aren’t you proud of me?
Now if only I can find pants, I can go get some onions to make my soup.
Onward ho!
Me: Pants, oh pants. Wherefore art thou pants?
A: I have them!! Tee hee hee (evil laugh)
Me: How rude. THIEF!!!!
A: Mmmmuuuuuuhhhhhaaaaaa
Me: Oh how you will rue the day!!
Me: (please do. please rue something. there just isn’t enough ruing anymore)
A: Hmmm… what shall I rue?
Me: The day (this really couldn’t be any clearer)
The day I take revenge on you and your pant stealing ways
A: Oh, the day. The day. Ok fine. I rue the day!!!
A: I steal your pants and I rue the day!
Me: Evil!
A: (that better?)
Me: I’m on my way to the store in spite of your evil efforts. Apparently I own more than one pair of pants. And yes, I feel much better. Together we shall bring back ruing!!!
A: On my way to library. Must find “How to Rue for Dummies”
Me: If it isn’t there, I think we may have just stumbled upon a wonderful need and writing opportunity!
A: Yes, yes, yes. It may explain why ruing is in such short supply today.
Me: It’s just so sad really
And now it’s up to you. Only you can prevent forest fires bring back the art of rue. (Clearly advertising has no impact on me – though I think I may have just proven the effectiveness of public service announcements and now I feel confident with total RUE integration. It’s coming back people.)
