a list of
things that i wish i had never had to say
(a.k.a "why is my life the way that my life
is")
(on the phone to my mother) "i think one
of the tadpoles just
ate the other five. they're all gone and it's the only
one
left in the tank. oh, god, i think it might have just
exploded."
(to the lady at the pet shop) "so my
sister's pet tadpoles
ate each other, i kind of need some replacements before
she gets home"
(to a boy) "no, your girlfriend is not
cheating on you with me-
yes, i'm certain about that."
(to a teacher) "we accidentally
photocopied our faces and
printed it off 300 times, is there any way to cancel
it?"
(to alex) "i will not go out for pizza
with you if you wear oven
gloves as slippers. no, i don't care if you can't find
your shoes."
(to eoghan) "standing on a table and
giving out free 'swag
lessons' to ten year olds is not something we do at
school"
(to my sister) "no, a group of elderly
people is not called a
'herd of elderlys'. please stop calling them that
when
they walk past."
(to my idiot relatives) "japan is
actually not a continent."
(to my cat) "why must you stand on top of
doors and
throw yourself on to peoples heads as they walk past?"
(to then-boyfriend) "no, that's not a
furry demon. yes, that's
my cat. she does that sometimes."
(to jack) "have you finally overcome your
addiction to
rubbing my chin dimple when i'm talkin- oh no i suppose
not."
(to eliza) "i'm not saying that we
accidentally clicked on
a p/orn site on your mothers computer but we might have
done and it's frozen now hELP"
(to my maths teacher) "i'm sorry for
bringing a kettle
to class but there's a plug at the back of the room and
we really wanted some tea."
(to a boy) "i know my friend threw a shoe
at you but she
felt like it was a good idea at the time."
(to my art teacher) "james and i kind of
painted each others
faces blue and we can't get it off and we're not really
sure
how to feel about that."
(to a zoo keeper) "that giraffe just
licked my eyeball, is that safe?"
(to my science teacher) "the person who
convinced the entire
class to balance pencil cases on their heads was not
me."
i accidentally started thinking
about weird stuff i've said and almost all of this was
within the last year of my life oh my
god
