I was listening to Triple M’s The Cage a few weeks ago, and a listener shared a story about his son’s school project.
The boy’s project topic was “Who is your hero?” His answer? Well, it was:
“Steak!
I love steak because it is yum and it makes me happy. It is nice when well but a bit pink.”
In an era of badly behaved sporting heroes, and hypocritical and untrustworthy politicians, I reckon this kid is spot on the money. Non human heroes are a far safer bet!
My non human hero (besides bubble tea) would have to be carrot cake. It too is yum and makes me happy but I am also astounded by the fact that an ordinary vegetable could be so tasty in cake. Who came up with the idea? Genius.
I love the fact that every bite is like a little party in my mouth and everyone is invited. Come on over nuts, cinnamon, and cream cheese icing….
I only wish my beloved carrot cake was kinder to my thighs BUT I’m sure with all the carroty goodness, one serve of carrot cake would also be equivalent to one serve of vegetables. That’s probably the best justification of them all!
What is your non human hero?
My non human hero is our litte puppy Köpek. He has an AMAZING outlook on life! He is always always happy, loves everyone & everydog and makes the most of every day! We can all learn something from our non-human heros - except, of course from bubble tea & carrot cake.. or COULD we??
ReplyDeleteThere's not a lot we can learn from bubble tea or carrot cake, they are just purely for my enjoyment! I agree, we can definitely learn a lot from our little 4 legged friends. Colin is the same (perhaps not as outgoing as Kopek) and he is always so happy to see us and gets so much enjoyment from just spending time with us. We should remember the little things in life...
ReplyDeleteMy non-human hero is coke....and no I don't mean the white powdery stuff. Coke always boosts my energy levels! The only way to drink it is when it's icy cold and fresh. Yes, I do have an addiction as my work colleagues would know.
