I’m Sorry
My all time favorite children’s book is If You Give a Pig a Pancake.The story is a day in the life of a very distracted pig. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend it. I totally relate to that little pig and the story inspired the following.
I call it If Maya Needs to get a Beer. Enjoy…
If I sit down to talk to you on the phone I am probably drinking a beer. Chances are I will interrupt you at a crucial part of the conversation to get a second beer. On the way to the refrigerator I will remember that I have to go to the bathroom because I have a bladder the size of a peanut. While I’m in the bathroom I will notice that I forgot to wax the back of my left leg, it will only take a second, I don’t want to forget again. I will probably be out of wax remover so I will rummage the kitchen cabinets looking for something to get the wax residue off. Using up all the peanut butter will remind me that I need to go grocery shopping. I will need a pen and some paper to make a list. Unfortunately I will not be able to find a pen but I will find my keys between the couch cushions and I better hang them on their hook by the front door before I lose them again. When I hang my keys I notice my spare bottle opener which reminds me I needed a beer. That’s when I will remember I was on the phone with you and … Crap! I owe you a big apology again and we should just stick to texting from now on.

Is that what's going on when I talk to you?! No wonder all I can remember of our conversations is a whole bunch background noise and me saying, "Maya, did you hear me?".
