Early this week, I went to the bank to do a cash deposit. It took forever for them to count my money so I grabbed a dum dum sucker while I waited. On the way home, I tossed the stick out the car window. (It was such a tiny littering infraction… please don’t judge me.)
I had the push mowing done when Carl showed up with his mower and helped me finish in record time. Then, he came inside so I could fix a container of cherry cobbler I made — along with another container of ice-cream — that he could take home with him. He even stayed long enough to pay attention to the two hounds.
Perry arrived a short time later. He sat within 6 feet of me for about 3 hours. That’s when I fired up the tanning bed because it’s the one thing that helps my back feel better.
After about 10 minutes getting hotter by the second, I raised my arms and felt something strange on my head. It was that darned sucker stick! It must’ve blown back in the window and got tangled in my hair.
How on earth could neither man see a white stick dangling off my head??
Because I’m invisible. That’s why. 😩
All you need to do to find out if you’re also invisible is to stick a foreign object on your head and walk around for hours. If no one notices, you’ll know we share the same super power.
