Funny how it matches the frame so well!

Let me know when to send in the cat. It’s 9:45 and he’s been waiting since 8:18. The dishes are dry.

That, unfortunately, is my carpet. At one point in my life it was a sort of…khaki colored? But then stains happened.

Then what on Earth is that behind the frame? The look of corroded bronze in front of what seems to be some sort of stone was what made me think it might be a woefully misguided tombstone, with the faded pic of the kid on the bike picture adding to the weather-worn look and the creepiness.

Except that taking for granted is the very antithesis of Zen.

No, he’s a helmet manufacturer. He wants his cut. Very well plotted scene though, so maybe he’s not a helmet manufacturer. Maybe he’s a short film director, focusing on safety films.

You, now, so loving every minute of it. So I can taking you for granted because you, now and now and now, so loving every minute of it. And now and now…. Very Zen.

Don’t stop me to love you now, I’m busy – let me get my diary, right, how about we make an appointment for 8.15 tonight, in between doing the dishes and feeding the cat, yes? Okay, 8.15 it is, see you then – me love you short time.

I always picture some young Asian schoolgirl saying these things with a giggle.

You’re afraid of riding a bike?

IMHO it would be so much better if it was a tombstone – the subtext would really twist the knife:
“Don’t stop me to love you now. You see, if only you’d loved me enough to make me wear a helmet when I was on my trike my brains wouldn’t have splashed all over the front of the 18-wheeler as I was thrown 350′ before landing in a yard implausibly full of upturned gardening spikes. I’m having so much more fun up here in heaven that I’ve almost forgotten all about you and your apparent disregard for my safety. See you soon, Timmy.”

I worry the same, but I think it might just be a really odd picture frame.

It’s true. In this day and age, we just don’t take the time to stop to love the tombstones. If that’s what that is, in which case I am thoroughly creeped out.
