Well, I tried. I was at the bookstore, picked a great spot and the interesting book was just impossible to pay attention to. A lulling "You are getting very sleepy..." force seemed to be taking over.
Of course this is what was in front of me...
(It was further away than that, though).
Well, kids, it made me think that sometimes I notice how some (not ALL, thank goodness gracious) of your parents seem to care more about Taylor Swift than about your reproductive rights, starving mothers, lack of hospital anesthesia for children losing their limbs, or even...*gasp*...Thoreau?
Really??!!??
What are they thinking? Maybe it's just like how I felt like I was being hypnotized and could not seem to stay awake to read an interesting book. But what if the grandchildren think the worms of Patriarchal White Supremacy Lite were deeply burrowing into their brains while they were raising you? Prepare yourselves for lots of embarrassing questions from the littles when you're older, I guess.
Also, this song played me out...
Sara Bareilles - "Brave (Official Video)"
and I thought, Gee, she is just as talented, and Colbert never talks about wanting to "murder" for her, does he?
"Stephen Colbert Says He Would 'Murder' for Taylor Swift"
Sigh...it's certainly very strange, I must say.
