I fired all the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put a simple egg back together - again. Again? How many times has HD fallen off the wall and had to be put back together? That's what happens to people. Someone breaks them and they look okay but their yolk sits in a puddle on the outside of their shell. Something cracks them open again and a little more of them leaks out. Sometimes you crack your own shell. Pretty soon you hear people saying, "she's just a shell of her former self." Do you think that is where the saying comes from? You don't look cracked but you are. We've all been cracked at one time or another. Some folks pretend that it has never happened to them. Some wear band-aids on their cracks so you can't miss them. Others have outbursts that come out of the cracks like a boiling teakettle. I'm surprised that I am still in one piece - lots if cracks and lots of outbursts. That is what makes me, me. I can say, "see this crack? That's the one where I got laughed at when my dress was caught in my pantyhose. See this one? It's where I laughed so hard thinking of my sister's underpants falling off in band it almost tore my whole shell off." I'll bet you thought all cracks were bad. Yes you did. You thought, "Oh, God. Here she goes again with that depression crap." Ha ha b-hole. Here's a few more shell crackers. Robert picked up a piece of dirt off the floor because he thought it was chocolate - and put it IN his mouth. Cara was riding her bike and knocked down at least six mailboxes, got up and walked away. She had a perm too. Stephanie was a punk rocker for Halloween at least five years in a row. She has a lazy eyelid. I tied my nylons together and walked from JHS to where my mom worked. Grandpa was laying in a hammock and it split and he fell out. Ramsey tried to sing "It's a Small World After All" but all he could say was, "e a maw wod afa all." Dear little Amalie rode around on a Plastic Blue Smurf and bit Stephanie. Grandma had a rocking chair and when she sat down in it she leaned forward and somehow slid out of it onto the floor. I laughed so hard she got mad at me. I like those cracks and I'm glad I thought of them. I filled a big crack tonight. It had been open for ten years. Good memories that made me cry. Sad thoughts knowing that things won't ever be the same. It doesn't mean it's the end. You have to move forward and take the good stuff with you. If you keep looking back at what was, then you'll never get a chance to make new happy cracks. You are probably all wondering who wrote this. What have you done with Cheryl? Why is there a happy ending? Because I wanted one. ....and for $19.95 you can have your own happy ending. If you act now you get two for one low price.
