Ten Reasons to Watch the Grass Grow
10. The paint is already dry.
9. You can’t count so you are not sure how many sheep there
are and most sheep are not green. They are sheep.
8. It is green like money but grows way faster than your savings and you can roll around in it and pretend to be rich.
7. Cheese tastes good, the sun feels nice, but you are not yet ready to take a nap and the sprinkler going round and round and round like back in the old days when real water existed has made you dizzy.
6. You are waiting for summer and you live under the snow. You like the contrast of the cold snow blanket keeping the grass warm and somewhat alive. It mesmerizes you. You think this makes you memorable and maybe even living.
5. The other alternative is to watch TV or stream something but you know skipping stones in water running around your toes is the only streaming you need.
4. Twiddling your thumbs is too close to exercising and you
gave that up to focus on your health.
3. You are having trouble finishing this list. Maybe the author could at least try to do something at this point besides type letters like a monkey. Wait, no! that's not nice to monkeys.
2. The sun has already risen and you live too far away from
the ocean to watch the waves. The little green leaves will have to do for a deep
green ocean to lose yourself in until the sun is ready to fall and the stars explode.
1. Well… you are reading this list so your options are probably pretty limited... but at least you can read.
