You know how one human year is like seven cat years? I seem to have developed the same kind of relationship with alcohol. I had two glasses of wine last night before bed. Today, I felt more like I’d had two bottles.

When I was younger,
I’d drink and get wild, but now
I just get sleepy

Still, the allure is the same. The idea of falling quickly and soundly asleep is just as appealing to me now as partying it up was in college. The morning after feels the same, too, except now the next morning lasts a whole day.

Wine: It’s like that ex-boyfriend you bump into and think, “Wow, why did I ever break up with him?” and then you go to lunch and you’re like, “Oh, that’s why.”

“Brush your teeth,” I say.
Every day and night. Always,
they ask, “We have to?”

Mom Dad Gag!

Kids love palindromes
because it gives them the chance
to say “poop” a lot.

“Play it one more time.”
She bangs her head on the keys.
“That’s not how it starts.”
