The other day I realized I'm becoming more and more grownup. One of the signs I discovered is affinity for asparagus. I used to refuse to even eat asparagus, and when I did force it down, it was painful. Suddenly, several months ago, I ordered a meal where asparagus was one of the main ingredients. I loved it. I now crave it. It's a sign. However, I still feel like the idea that I'm a grownup is a laughable one. I feel a kinship to the character in this comic (another sign that I am not grownup is the fact that I still read comics).
In other news, this morning I realized that Walter is a pretty nice size for a dog. Not small enough to be too annoying, but small enough that I can still carry him. I mentioned this to my mom and she suggested that I figure out a way to bonsai him. As I considered the methods used to bonsai a tree, I realized that if these were applied to an animal, it might be considered cruelty. Restricting food, water, and living space to keep an animal small all seem somewhat legally actionable, except in the case of goldfish.

yes, perhaps you should just leave the crate tiny sized and then he can't grow any bigger?
ReplyDeleteYou updated! I so identify with that comic, especially "I don't know what you just said because I was thinking about Batman". I went to a tenure academy today and couldn't even sit still!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are enjoying your free time. You are enjoying it, right? Please do, you'll never have this chance again!
And even tiny goldfish will die with less than a gallon of water.
Loved the comic. I might have related a little, too.
