What better day to post this than on the exclusive day set aside specifically for fools, clowns, and walking jokes? For some people, every day is April Fool’s Day! They spin lie after preposterous lie, hoping desperately that everyone believes them or at least pretends to, so they don’t have to face how comically pathetic they are.
I could not live knowing that everything I have is due to the pity of others who believe I cannot handle anything on my own. It should be devastatingly embarrassing to be about as capable of adult functioning as a tree stump.
Today, in honor of April Fool’s Day, we will indulgently pat such folks on their vapid little heads. We will give them the placating, approving thumbs-up they so impotently seek. We will graciously pretend that they actually belong at the adult table instead of tottering helplessly on their training potty with feet a-swinging, waiting for the next handout.
Tomorrow, we will return to reality, while they vacuously prance their way through their fabulous fantasy world, pretending that we actually believe they accomplish anything for themselves, while others, including their own children, tirelessly pull double duty to maintain the façade.
Here’s to you, fools! Enjoy your special day. Will it really feel much different, though, if every day of your life is a pitiable joke?
