Sometimes life is like the edge of a canyon with only one way down. Sometimes it's like jumping from the bow just to prove that you know how. And sometimes, it's moments of serendipitous lucidity. And those moments, they usually come when you just let the chips... fall where they may.

Why I Laugh P2
I don't know if I already told this story, because it happened a few weeks ago. I was taking my class out to lunch and a little girl had on these HUGE sunglasses. They were humongous. And she was trying to keep them on at all costs. When I looked at her I thought, "Wow- those are really gaudy." Then my next thought was, "that kind of looks like the style I wear." I asked her where she got them, and she said they were hers. I thought that was a strange answer, thought momentarily that..... but no, it couldn't be... Then I realized she was wearing MY sunglasses. I asked her again where she got them and she answered, "They're MINE." I looked at her and with all the risk of sounding like a two year old said, "No, they're MINE." And I took them back. She said someone had handed them to her off their desk and told her they were hers. She hadn't argued, in fact, she'd adopted them quite readily...
