The 2:00 a.m. question

Now what in the hell am I supposed to do with a Ziploc bag full of 100-unit syringes? Play darts?

Used or unused? I think you could sell them, but the clientele would be a little different based on their used/unused status.

I think the real question is what are you doing with a Ziploc bag full of syringes in the first place?

You don't have a ziploc bag full of syringes, Ande? I thought everyone did.

Actually, I have only one syringe. It's a biggun'. I make up uses for it, but it's actually from an old ink jet cartridge refill kit.

The Ziploc bag full of syringes once belonged to my diabetic sister-in-law, who gave them to me. Diabetics give each other such things.

However, the syringes are loose in the bag, so I don't trust them enough to use them. Ergo, what is to be done with them?

Yeah, who doesn't have a Ziploc bag full of syringes sitting around?

  • Every day is either Christmas or Halloween or Birthday or Easter
  • Leave those cats alone! They're going to scratch you and it will hurt
  • You cannot lie under circumstances, but nor can you tell the literal truth
  • Geez that kid is sharp
  • Can I have cake? Can I have cake? Can I have cake? Huh? Daddy? Can I have cake?
  • For the last time, stop asking me!
  • Noticing the growth: taller and a bit heavier to carry
  • Children's television shows
  • Food. Wasted food
  • Remembering that you once acted this way yourself
  • Watching where the both of you are going
  • The joy of hearing the word "fuck" being used experimentally, and justifying this experimentation by saying "Well they learn it eventually"
  • TANTRUMS
  • Sitting down together on the living room floor, a mess of blocks & cars & plush Care Bears strewn around you, discussing the complexities of each car's identity, its name, and why it is so humorous
  • Having to take responsibility for someone else for a change
  • More frustration than you're prepared for
  • Wicked cackling
  • Drawings of potato guys
  • Learning about the world all over again
  • Circular Logic
  • Unexpected hugs and words put beautifully together out of context
  • Waking up after 4 hours of sleep, and unexpectedly having to confront shit, in more than one place, including the carpet, a big toe, a butt, a bed, a toilet seat, and underpants
