You don't understand. A Sunday paper was a thing to behold. The size of a couch cushion, delivered by a man in a rusty van and his three children, each carrying a corner. The kitchen table would groan under the weight of the ad circulars alone. The pages would unfurl like sails.
I wish I loved anything as much as the previous owner of this cookbook loved boiled pudding

One of my Grandmothers was born in Poland and lived in Detroit, the other was born in a log cabin in Kentucky and lived on an Illinois farm. They got along just fine and enjoyed each other's company. That's all.

In my teens and into my 20s I kept an internal narrative of my daily life, like I was the protagonist of a sitcom. Eventually this narration stopped, I guess the narcissism of youth does not survive adulthood. Or maybe the audience got bored and changed channels.

The phone smelled of hairspray and shaving cream, its numbers scratched off by millions of spins by press-on nails. A list of numbers tacked to the wall, the exotic ones had area codes, the dead were crossed off. If its cord could be untangled no one knew how far it would stretch.

Still pushing and pulling. Still no monkey chow.
Can someone please explain to me how the economy works? I've been pushing all the buttons and pulling all the levers but no monkey chow comes out

My grandma used to drink this tea when I was a little boy, so I associated it with ancient times, like horse-drawn carriages. Tried it recently. Pretty good. Kind of a proto-chai, or spiced Earl Grey. Or maybe I'm just approaching the age Babcia was when I knew her.

Just finished a shift at a high school football concession stand, where I served every age, race, gender, and economic class. We humans are united in our love of blue freeze pops and our inability to make change.

Appears smoking is one of the underlying health conditions that will allow you to get a covid vax under new CDC guidelines. I don't smoke, but I guess I'll start. Any cigarette brand recommendations?

I was pronouncing "lickety-split" as "liquidy-spit" to be funny. Turns out no one under 70 has ever heard the term lickety-split, so everyone thought I was just being strange

I'm up to ABBA now. Hmmm.... they sang 'Xanadu' and roller skated a lot? Or am I thinking of that Andrew Lloyd Webber play? The Starburst Express? I know they won the Eurovision thing. I'll just leave it at that.
I'm writing an alternate to Wikipedia, starting at the beginning. Anybody know if an aardvark is the same thing as an armadillo? I'm just going to say yes.
