The World Is Wide, Wonderful...And Exhausting

When we were kids, it seemed like we couldn't wait to see all the crazy things the world had to offer. So we charged headlong into every new place we went to while our tired parents struggled to keep up. And when it was time to go to bed, we fought it every step of the way because there was still so much we wanted to do that day. 

Well, other than the part where we have a hard time sleeping, a lot of us have more in common with the tired parent than the the kid we used to be.

Now that we've seen what the world has to offer, we've learned that a lot of it takes a lot of effort. But you know what doesn't? Going home, spreading out and just letting our couches do the work for us.

I don't think it's hard to see why we keep picking that.

1. Sorry, my schedule is just too full of nothing right now.

But I'm definitely up for that when there's something else I need to blow off. 

2. It's too bad sneaking along the walls and knocking on random surfaces only works in video games.

I guess we could always dust off that old trick from school where we go to the bathroom and just never come back. It's not like we've still got hall passes, right?

3. Well, I'm about to if y'all keep asking about it.

Just let me grumble and fuss like a baby until it's nap time.

4. Well, do my other options have a bed and snacks?

If not, they'll have to work pretty hard to beat that.

5. Ugh, why couldn't you do this last night?

Look, I don't wanna go either, but let's just say we're both gonna be spending a lot more time outdoors if you don't let me.

6. Well, there's pretty much no point in going anywhere if you've got one of these. 

Guess everybody else will just have to miss out on how clean we are.
