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
