my big case in the 6th grade:

some commercial telling me:

'yes, in just minutes a day!'

'but any amount of time can be broken into minutes!' says i.

'how do i know what i'm getting into!'

'in just pennies a day!

why, any amount can be broken down into pennies. i'm getting screwed!'

and so saying, i awoke!

i just remembered sitting in a circle on the floor in the 2nd grade, and some boy classmate was ranting about 'how is it that homeless people are starving when there are wendy's 99 cent menus?'

and i so cynically replied that 99 cents was just a fancy way of saying 1 dollar, so don't be fooled.

and there was clarity. 1 dollar was infintitely more than 99 cents, and we all went to school that day.

i yawned finally and challenged myself to sleep, but instead i did this.
