Saw the blue sky this morning and thought it looks like a rockstar day. Stepped outside and the chilly temps broke my heart. Saw all the leaves on the ground and I hit the roof. Put all my sweaters on the table. Spared no expense on coffee. Then I got laser focused on some bacon.
Saw the neighbours passing doobies. I yelled "What're ya doin, ya Yahoos?!" I was shocked the leaves were falling in autumn. Made raking the leaves my number 1 priority. Created a robust and massive plan to make a pile of leaves. Kids belong in leaf piles, I thought to myself.
Decided to create the leaf pile one leaf at a time, because kids wouldn't understand the leaf pile if I built it all at once. I saw the kids were jumping into the four or five leaves and hurting themselves, so I made jumping in the leaf pile by appointment only.
I could not emphasize to the kids enough that there could be no more than 10 kids in the leaf pile at a time. Then my wife called me and told me only kids from the same household could be in the leaf pile at the same time. This confused me. But I made another announcement anyway.
I told the kids I was very disappointed in them, for jumping in the leaf pile I had opened up and allowed them to jump in.
I urged them to start using common sense.
Then I had my whole family over.
And we all played in the leaf pile together.
It was an all-star day.
