You Should Come To Colorado

You should come to Colorado! She whined. She lives there now. Two states away. I do not even drive to the mall And it is less than ten minutes away. You know I do not travel, I tell her. You could, she whines. I could cut out my fingernails too. I could stab myself it the side with a steak knife. I could smash my toes with a hammer. I could ride my dog to work. I could bring home eight cats. Come on! She whines. I do miss her. But I had forgotten how much I despise her whining.

Amazing how many people want to tell us what we should (or could) do, isn't it? I think many people live vicariously through their wishes for others
