Yesterday I received this season’s first birthday present: nine pairs of brightly colored dinosaur earrings. I can now accent my outfits with red T-Rexes or purple Parasaurolophuses or a whole range of varieties and colors. They’re super cute and discreet. Why today, no one even noticed my dinosaur earrings until I drew attention to them. To me this doesn’t mean my friends are unkind. Instead it encourages me to wear different brightly colored dinosaurs every day for ever. Why not? Sure if I ever had a job that required me not to wear earrings, I wouldn’t wear earrings. So, excluding the off chance I work in the real world, there is no flaw in my plan to my love of juvenile fads close to my heart… or least to my earlobes. Maybe now that I have tiny reminders of childhood happiness I won’t have to decorate my room like a seven year old. But I probably still will. All I know is I’m very happy my first birthday gift was such a success, and I’m thankful that my friends know me so well. So well, in fact, they probably didn’t notice my new jewelry because it fits me so well.
Also, I want you all to know I spent thirty minutes finding out the purple dinosaur earrings were Parasaurolophuses. I need to learn to prioritize.
