Lesson learned for the day

It is nearly impossible to not burst out laughing when you hear someone whistling the theme to Jurassic park in a random stairwell.

Ok, not completely random, it being a stairwell in an engineering building which may have raised the chance of this happening quite substantially.

And yes, he did sound like a twelve-year-old first-time flute player.

Best conversation ever. And no, I will not tell you the context.

N: I'm not good at somersaults
A: Me either, they're hard!
N: I like running around chopping up bushes.
A: Wait until you get a shovel! SO MUCH FUN!

observation

Yesterday, I saw a woman carrying a water bottle with half a dozen daisy heads floating on top. I couldn't figure out if she was planning to drink the water (do daisies sweeten the taste of water?) or if she was just carrying it around as a sort of charm. Perhaps she was trying to preserve a bit of summer before we plunge into flowerless seasons.

I also passed by a man who could really whistle. I mean really really well. In comparison, any sort of whistling I've ever done sounds like a twelve-year-old first-time flute player. I don't think I ever knew such a talent existed; I'm very glad it does.

sweet tooth

Every day should include at least a half a cupcake before lunch.

Why do I feel so happy today?
