12/26 And I can Never Escape

During the mad scramble of house chores that routinely plague me on a day off, I heard the kids in the next room and repeatedly requesting a certain movie.

“Dad! Dad, could we watch that one?” they asked, pointing at an animated movie I was unfamiliar with. I also did not have my glasses on, so I couldn’t make out the finer details on the screen.

I knew it said “Klaus” and figured it was just another Christmas movie, so I agreed and went back to the dishes. Little did I know that the plot of the movie involved points I was very familiar with.

…sigh…

I will never escape work, even when I put away everything that could remind me of it. Eventually, I’ll unknowingly start a movie that revolves around a postman.

Never fails. Stay safe out there, readers. I’ll be writing this evening.
