Chapter 13: Birthday

Picture
Common Sense: Alarm says we have to wake up.

Brain: Uh, no thanks. Hand?

Hand: On it.

Eyes: You don't need my help, do you, Hand?

Hand: Nope. I know exactly where the snooze button is.

Common Sense: No, let's start this day. Gotta make the most of it!

Brain: That's right, it's our birthday. 40 years old.

Legs: Yes, 40 years old. We can't move now.

Back: Yeah, I'm not getting up. I'm too old now.

Brain: Really? I don't feel any different. Then of course, I don't remember yesterday at all.

Back: See? We're old now.

Common Sense: We're only one day older than yesterday. Come on, out of bed.

Legs: No, yesterday, we were in our 30's. Now we are in our 40's. This is going to take a while to coax us out of this comfy bed.

Common Sense: Well, let's see. There will be ice cream today.

Stomach: What? What? Ice cream? I'm here. I'm awake. Come on, everyone, out of bed!

Memory: Remember, Stomach, we have to be careful with ice cream in our old age. We're now lactose intolerant. 

Stomach: Brain can take care of that. That's Colon's problem anyway.

Colon: Ugh. Nooo. Don't mess me up again.

Taste Buds: Sorry, Colon, we're all on the ice cream bandwagon. You'll have to just cope.

Common Sense: No ice cream, though, unless we get out of bed! Come on, let's go. Why is no one moving?

Back: Brain went back to sleep. No one is telling us what to do.

Common Sense: No worries. Some kid will be in soon to jump on the bed.

Stomach: Good. Because I want my ice cream.

Common Sense: It's 7:00 in the morning?

Stomach: Well, we're 40 now. There's no telling how much longer we've got. Eat ice cream any chance we can!

Colon: Excuses, Excuses.

Stomach: Hey, whatever it takes. Now, someone get me my ice cream.
