1. For Halloween, my roommate’s boyfriend costumed himself as a butterfly, not just any butterfly, a beautiful butterfly, with a wand. And as we all know, butterflies don’t wear clothes. That would be just silly if they did.
2. A few weeks ago I went home to forage supplies. Unfortunately my foraging skills are not as honed as they once were and instead of bringing back a blanket, I brought back a flannel fitted sheet. Imagine my surprise upon unfolding what I thought would have corners and discovering instead an elastic encasement of warmth. I had to put a positive purposeful spin on my mistake to evade judgment: “I meant to bring a flannel fitted sheet, it’s like the new snuggie, a cocoon, if you will.” And then I would demonstrate how one can wrap themselves like a caterpillar with my devisings. The name cocoon developed partially from a visual similarity, but also because I always secretly hope to emerge with wings.
3. Despite my attempts to evade judgment, my friends still made fun of me.
4. I don't have very creative friends. This is what they came up with:
jingle to the tune of "Hey Jude": "if you're .... feeling blue .... take your cocoon .... and wrap it round you...."
