The rain will check my roof work

Sometimes I just want to hear the point of the story. Like when the house is on fire, I don’t need to hear how it caught on fire or what you did to try to get it uncaught on fire just tell me the house is on fire.

My house wasn’t on fire by the way.

Occasionally I get accused of being able to see the future and I guess it’s somewhat true but it’s not that I see a vision of things that will happen, I extrapolate from what I’ve seen in the past. I guess at what happens next.

When people marvel at my abilities to guess at what will happen, I quietly think “You must suck at chess.”
