Bucket Seats All Have to Go

It’s staring at me!

If I turn to the left, it’s there.  If I turn to the right… It’s there.

I’m told that it’s my fault, that it’s staring me down.  [ Ha! Think I'm taking the rap for this one? I don't think so ]

So I grab one.

It’s like I’m staring at the oreo that fell onto the floor. It’s past the 5 second rule, and you ponder if you should eat it.  The clock keeps ticking and we all know about the 10 second rule.

Yet, you still want to eat it.

Now this is my kind of oreo!

Now this is my kind of oreo!

What would it hurt, if I just opened it up.  It’s not like it’s pandora’s box or something? What could go wrong?

And, now, we are at the 15 second rule.  That oreo, doesn’t have any major funk.  I brushed off the small bits of hair, [ WHAT!!!! A HAIR?!! ].  Okay there wasn’t a hair on it, but I brushed carpet lint off it, and stared it down again.

You look okay, little buddy, I will clean you up… There, there, nobody’s going to drop you again.

You turn it around looking at every angle to make sure you see nothing.  You find a dent where it hit.  No worries, a dent won’t kill you, right?

Plus, it’s not like it landed in a bad place.  It was well protected from the environment, just a soft landing.

And really why wouldn’t…

Friend: Wait! why are you telling me this story?

Well, I know that you were upset when it fell.

Nom, nom, nom

Friend: Did you just eat it?

Mmmm, yeah!!

Friend: Are you kidding me? That landed on the floor!

Well, I made it before the 15 second rule

Friend: Dude! That only applies if it landed on the floor in the house.  Not a car!

Oohhhh…

I don’t feel so good.

Friend: You’ve got to be kidding me.  Are you really?  Did you really just eat more halloween candy after that oreo?

Uhhh, yes… duh.  It was staring at me, remember?
