Flying Lessons
World: Another day, another day! Are you ready for another flying lesson?
Me: No.
World: Why not? It’s such a nice, sunny day.
Me: I hadn’t noticed. By the way, have you noticed that I don’t have wings?
World: You’re so negative. Come on, let’s climb up on the roof and
..... see if today will be any different.
Me: No, thank you.
World: Oh, you’re depressed. You really should take some medicine.
Me: It’s not about depression. It’s about the fact that I don’t have wings.
World: Of course you do. Everyone does. You’re just not trying.
...... You need to fly before you can get a job.
Me: I want to work in a law office. Like I did before.
..... You don’t need to fly to work on a computer.
World: Here we go! (*push*)
Me: (*splat*)
World: Aw, it didn’t work. Why won’t you spread your wings?
Me: I don’t have wings.
World: I don’t understand you.
