Periodically I'll be running an errand and then BAM! suddenly I'm on a top secret mission for the CIA and it's my job to do what ever it is I'm doing but in a totally nonchalant way to make sure that no one notices anything out of the ordinary... and by doing so, I almost always attract attention to myself... Perhaps my CIA dreams are what's keeping me from dating...Lesson #31: Keep the play-ground games in 4th grade...
I suppose by the time I reached 10 years old and started to see boys as more than just icky-cootie-carriers I should have started to grow up... but really, where's the fun in that? So I've made it my policy to be a kid for ever! I always tell myself that some day there will be a boy (maybe at this point I should start saying man...) who will find my oddities charming... these oddities include but are not limited to:
- Pretending to be a CIA agent in my daily life
- laughing like a 4 year old and sometimes snorting when I laugh too hard
- drinking copious amount of Diet Coke
- wanting my mommy when I'm sick
- praying someone else will do my laundry
- having a Thor case cover
- enjoying the Magic School Bus, Little Bear, and Cartoons in general
- falling asleep to Kenny Loggin's Return to Pooh Corner...
- mis-managing my money
- relying on others to wake me up in the morning.
So as you can see... I'm still a 8 year old in my brain (perhaps why I have yet to find a date...) rarely do 8-year-olds date, although now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure I remember boys and girls in my 4-grade class having significant others... man... even 8-year-olds get more action than me!
