You know how I've always had a bit of an overactive
imagination? And how our family went through that phase where we watched at least ten prime time murder mystery shows a week? And how I've been living by myself in my
apartment for the last week? With no roommates? In the dark? Alone? With only a Nerf Gun
for protection?
Well I've imagined about 48 different scenarios now that all
end in just about the same way:
Consequently, I just wanted to get this out before . . .
whatever happens.
First, when I was younger I used to pray that I’d get sick so you would make me
apple juice and I could watch The Little
Mermaid all day. It seemed like such a sweet deal to me. When prayer took too long, I took matters into my own hands.
Also, you were so kind as to pack me a Capri Sun each day
for lunch from first to sixth grade, during which time I always expressed gratitude to
you and an undying love for this heaven-sent juice box that could only be compared to ambrosia from Grecian mythology.
I lied.
I sincerely believed that you enjoyed buying the stuff so I pretended
to like it. Truthfully though, I thought they tasted awful and threw them away. As in, probably all of them.
Again, my bad.
Finally, whenever you made oatmeal, I would hide as much of
it as possible so I didn't have to eat it.
I’m not telling you this because I think you didn't already
know that, because we both know what was going on. Rather, I would just like to
apologize because no matter how hard I try, I cannot make myself feel badly about
doing it. Seriously, I hated that stuff.
Well, I'm glad I got that off my chest. Talk to you soon mom!
Probably.
