People are funny. Do odd things to get a laugh, to get attention.
Case in point: this afternoon, as we left the Habitat for Humanity Volunteer House in Baldwin, MI, Dustin made a scene. No, not a scene. Let me rephrase: he made everyone laugh. He stole the toaster. No, not really. He openly pretended to be very stealthy about stealing the toaster. The thing is, he wanted some one to see him. To see him, and laugh. You see, he did not want to steal the toaster.
No shit, you’re saying, right?
But this moment struck me as a prime example of the layers and complexities behind human emotion and action. Dustin did not want to steal the toaster. He really just wanted to steal our hearts.
This is one of the sloppiest things I’ve written in the past year.
And I have no motivation to make it better.
Not today.
