Today’s Wandering Thought

He liked creating games out of the things he did. Arriving at the coffee shop, he noted the parked cars. The game was, ‘Whose Car is This?’ He liked matching cars with the individuals inside.

Another regular game was Sock Toss when he put clothes away after the laundry was done. He had a .600 average.

The oddest game was probably sneak up on the cats. Tucker wasn’t included much any longer. He was old and slept deeply. Papi was his usual target, but the little ginger usually moved ears and lifted his head to smile at him before he was within three feet. Papi knew the game, and he always won.

Hole

You ever put a sock on that’s almost new, like, bought a month ago, and you find a hole in the toe, so you think about that sock and what you paid, and the hole in the toe, and how cheap some things are made, and how you should take it back to get a refund, but you probably don’t have the receipt, so you decide you should throw it away instead, because it has a hole, but then decide, screw it, nobody will see it, it’s just a sock, and I paid good money for that, so you put it on anyway, and then you can feel your toe sticking through the hole as you’re walking around, reminding you about how cheap it is, and by extension, how cheap you are?

Yeah, me neither.
