Thank You Notes (15 page)

Thank you

 

… older woman next to me in my yoga class, for ripping not one but two big ones during downward-facing dog. It’s like that old saying, “One yoga toot, shame on you. Two yoga toots, you should probably go to the ladies’ room.”

Thank you

 

… chocolate chips, for not being called “sugar turds.”

Thank you

 

… coarse wool sweaters, for having a relationship with my nipples that could best be described as “problematic.”

Thank you

 

… gummy worms, for being excellent bait if I want to catch a Swedish Fish.

Thank you

 

… shorts weather, for reminding me that it’s almost time to go apeshit on my milky-white chicken legs with a tube of tinted bronzer.
