The Ultimate in Lounging
Do you ever wake up and imagine how awesome it would be if you didn’t have to get dressed? I hate getting dressed. It would also be great if I didn’t always have to brush my teeth. And then instead of going downstairs to eat breakfast, I would just stay lying down and the food would float upstairs and into my mouth. Actually, instead of having to open my mouth, there would be an IV going into my arm so I wouldn’t have to chew. There would also be two tubes in my pajama pants so I never had to stand up and walk to the bathroom. And instead of using my hand to turn the pages of books or pick up a remote control, I would just stay asleep, and my mind would play imaginary movies all the time. And then I would never have to open my eyes again—I could just stay so relaxed and chilled out that instead of breathing I would stay perfectly still and silent forever. The ultimate in lounging. And then I would be so chilled out that they would put me in a box and just let me chill out forever underground.

seriously, I was just thinking about this today. “wouldn’t it be great if I had a nanny so I didn’t have to spend all day watching my kids? wouldn’t it be great if I had a housekeeper so I didn’t have to clean every day?”
But, Self, what will you DO then, exactly?
