Lucy and Ethel diligently wrap chocolates. The belt speeds up and they move a little faster. Lucy misses a chocolate and so does Ethel. Suddenly, there's panic in their eyes. They abandon their wrapping efforts in favor of hiding evidence of failure in their bras, hats and mouths.
I thought of this scene several times during the first week of school. I've joined Lucy and Ethel at the conveyor belt.
I wish I could eat up some of those unwrapped "chocolates" that are coming at you for attention. Let the belt roll without you for a few minutes now and then. Good night, my sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could too. I'm trying to take your advice about letting the belt roll (sort of). I've poured myself a glass of wine to drink while I finish up today's work. Wish you were here to drink with me.
ReplyDeleteJean says amen!
