We all do that thing.

It’s that thing we do.

We all do it differently.

And, it’s that thing, that embarrassing unawares thing that you do.

It’s likely a bit painful to be around

When you were young your parents may have seen it and froze. Now that your not a child, it’s something that people younger than you make fun of you about.

Don’t have kids and over the age of thirty and still think that you’re somehow cool or on trend?

HA!

You are old, irrelevant and stale or a creepy pervert to anyone just graduating from high school or the university of perpetual indebtedness and continual servitude.

What’s worse?

You’re not getting any younger.

So that thing that you do?

That’s embarrassing and frustrating and downright painful to young and old alike (but especially the young)?

Keep on keepin’ on.

The eye rolls will likely cause them to get a tummy ache or throw out their back or experience some sort of trauma.

It doesn’t matter.

They’re not showing up to work tomorrow one way or another.

Enjoy the summer.
