I thought this would be a good morale booster.
Then, he stabbed me in the back.
When I first moved here to help Colin,
I had a lot of ideas to help keep him…
…entertained.
One of the ideas
was “Make a Wish” cards.
On one side,
they had the “Make a Wish” logo.
On the other,
there were blank lines
that Colin could fill out.
The idea was
that he could make people do things
for his own amusement.
I imagined him making people eat questionable foods.
Stunts that would usually be reserved for dares.
You know, light entertainment.
And you couldn’t deny him.
After all, its a cancer wish.
Colin had other plans.
I handed him the cards.
He handed them back
and said, “Grow a beard.”
He didn’t even bother filling it out.
I should have known it was coming.
He had been riding me since I moved here.
I told him they made me feel dirty.
Beards itched.
But he wasn’t having it.
Apparently, its a Richmond, VA requirement.
You are not considered a man
unless you have a beard.
And that is how I went from this:
See Colin’s mischievious smile.
He was planning it all along.
…to this…
…to this.
To date,
Colin has not asked for anything else with the cards.
But, if you know someone
who needs a positive outlet,
you can download my cards here:
They’re free to all.
