We’d like to think that life is like a sundae. Start with
that base layer of a couple scoops of vanilla and chocolate. Go ahead, add a
scoop of mocha almond fudge for some good flavor. Another scoop of Chunky
Monkey because why not. A couple dollops of whipped cream and do not leave out
the hot fudge. Crushed Oreos? Yeah, sure. I’ll go without the cherry, because I
do not like those kinds of cherries, but you go for it if that’s your
thing. I’ll take some of those almond
slivers though. Pass the spoon and a napkin, give me a little time, and we’ll
get through this thing happily.
But really, it’s more like a milkshake. Start with that
basic vanilla – ice cream and milk. If you change your mind and want a little something more flavorful, a black
and white instead perhaps, you’ve got to pour out some of the vanilla and pour in chocolate,
then mix it together. You might be able to pour in a shot of Kahlua (you do do
that, right?) You might even be able to
get a little whipped cream on top. But
that’s about it. No crushed cookies, no almonds. No additional milkshake poured
on top because it will overflow. Because
that will be a mess and will run all over the table and then you’ll have to
clean it up and that won’t be fun. And if its like anything in my house, someone
will drink your milkshake while you are cleaning off the table.
So that’s about how I’m feeling on life choices right now. I
know – I come back after not writing for a couple weeks with this crazy food
analogy. Because we all like food, especially ice cream. And because bad
analogies make the world go ‘round.
I’ll be back, let's say next Friday, maybe with more bad food analogies.
