To the list of words I’d like to describe me, I’d like to nominate an additional representative: intentional.

I can't quite count the number of times I've left my phone in the car, sitting there in the dashboard mount like an abandoned child. Like when my fam went to church without me while I was clipping my toenails in my parents' bathroom Sometimes I'm missing a bag of groceries and think, "my apartment is quite small - how do I misplace a whole bag of groceries?" And it's in my hallway, staring at me innocently from the spot where I had set it, freeing my hand to unlock the door. And one time, I kid you not, I threw an entire bag of groceries in the recycling dumpster. Because I am a doer, and a frantic host, and taking out the identical trader joe's bags of recycling as soon as I got home seemed like the right order of things.

I just left my keys on a shelf full of blanket baskets

at TJMaxx.

Sorry I was being a Maxxinista and forgot my keys for one second.

My head is being massaged, like it's a large porous sponge that's very full of water and someone wants to squeeze just a bit out. Enough to make the tiniest steady stream possible.

Sketch idea: A substitute teacher is going through a glossary of important terms with a literature class. The real teacher gave a handwritten instruction list, but they have horrible handwriting. So the substitute misread the terms and, being unable to locate definitions for his interpretation of the misread terms, came up with fake definitions for these fake words. What a gag, this man trying to teach "simeles vs. analoyies" while remaining completely straight-faced in the face of confused, smirking students, while the principal is in class observing. Needs to be fleshed out, I know I know.

Someone asked me on my birthday once, "Do you prefer birthday king or queen?" I said "omg thank you, either way is fine! but definitely king" I should have just said "king, thanks!" Midwesterners.

Twice rattle vice tattle:

• My favorite bird is a jaywalk.
