The farmer is baling and wrapping hay all day today, but he came in for a quick bite to eat. As I walked from my desk area to the kitchen carrying a plate, he says,
“Watcha doin?”
Me: “Oh, ya know, what I do best…”
Him: “Editing?’
Me: “Well, I was thinking more along the lines of eating, but I’ll take editing, too. I’m multitasking. All while being SUPER efficient because I’m eating leftovers…therefore, no food is going to waste.
Him: “Yeah, I see you also finished off the last Clif bar.”
Me: “I couldn’t let YOU eat it!” (He’s all low carb, high protein, no sugar right now. I took one for the team. That’s sacrificial love right there, folks. In action. )
Him: “Oh, no! We couldn’t have that!”
Me: “OH, OH! AND here’s the best part, (I ignore the prior sarcasm) while I’m eating, editing, and being SUPER efficient, I’m also growing a tiny human! And that quite possibly makes me the most productive person you will encounter today!
Him: *smirk*
Trust me, it blew his mind. I rendered him speechless. He’s a lucky, lucky man. (I’m still hungry.)
he should be bowing at your feet….lol
