Confessions of a Casual Perfectionist: Day 10

nablo1109.120x90It’s NaBloPoMo Day 10!

Today’s confession: I love taking things literally, sometimes too literally, but I never take things to Literally. I mean, I’ve never been to Literally, so how could I take things there?

This weekend, my daughter and I were invited to a baby shower. The night before the event, I was talking to Claire about our plans for the next day. That’s when she asked me, in all sincerity, if she was going to get water all over herself, too. You know, like the baby was. It was a Baby Shower, after all.

I laughed. That question totally made my day! I love finding things like this. Cemeteries at the end of a “Dead End” road make me giggle. Hearing my husband say, “I keep pressing the escape button, but I’m still here,” when he’s working on his computer makes me laugh.

I often take things literally on purpose, just to lighten the mood. Some people accuse me of taking things too literally, which is when I tell them that I can’t take things to Literally if I don’t even know how to get there.

Everywhere you look, there are things to take to Literally, so I should probably figure out how to get there. I have a feeling I’d really like it there.
