A Bedtime Story {with pictures!}

True story:

Once upon a time a young girl at the age of 17- (ish) worked at a video store.

This was a real video store. We are talking- VHS, pre-DVD days, babe-y. Back when- if you were kind, you would rewind.

This young girl worked there all. alone.

.All alone, with the VHS's and a gumball machine and rarely a customer.

.

This made for a very lonely LoW.

.

(you did know the young girl was me, didn't you?)

.

Loneliness {aka boredom} and LoW never mixed.

.

As a matter of fact, it spelled trouble. {it still does}

.

Or something like that.....

.

So LoW found herself getting a piece of gum from the gumball machine.

.

And then another....

.

and another...

Then she had this brilliant idea of seeing how many pieces of gum she could chew at once.

.

It was a beautiful sight.

.

{not really}

As LoW had this enormous wad of gum that didn't exactly fit in her mouth but made for a huge big wet sticky mess....

In walked her future husband-

He said, "Hey baby, watcha' doin?"

.

Or could it of been, "What in THE world are you DOING?" Or something like that.

.

To which LoW replied an inaudible-

"Nuffin'."

.
With gumball colored saliva spilling out of her mouth.

.

Moral of the story is....

.
Hmmmm......

Never bite off more than...

No.

.

Idle hands...

nah....

.

Maybe something like, "If he loves you, he loves you. Even though."
