Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Person A has a habit of leaving things lying around. Sometimes an object will be set down and not returned to its proper place for two to three days at a time. Person A thinks this is perfectly normal. Person A has agreed to return things to where they belong if reminded about them.
Person B thinks that Person A is an adult and should not have to be told to put things away. Person B does a lot of the cleaning, so cannot be bothered with reminding Person A to put things away every day. After a few days, Person B will often put the things away, but often away means the trash can. Person B usually cannot remember where the things were put away—in their proper place or in the trash can—much to Person A’s frustration.
Person A and Person B have had this conversation MANY times over the past ten years. Person A maintains that Person B should not touch things that belong to someone else if Person B cannot differentiate between things we like to keep and thngs that are trash. Person B maintains that if the things had not been left carelessly about by Person A, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Very cute post.
I just read this to the Bread Winner. She said, “10 years, eh? There’s hope for us.”
Being Person C once I had Person B misplace something of mine for a long long time. Remember we found it holding up a plant in the kitchen under a cloth napkin. How could Person B not remember doing this?
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
