I'm thinking about love this week, how about you? And since I'm such a deep ponderer, I thought I would share a profound song about love, by those two New Zealanders, Bret and Jermaine. They have a way with words.
Lives are like retractable pencils
If you push them too hard they're gonna break
And people are like paper dolls
Paper dolls and people, they're a similar shape
Hmm hmm hm
Love is like a roll of tape
It's real good for making two things one
But just like that roll of tape
Love sometimes breaks off before you were done
Another way that love is similar to tape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes it's hard to see the end
You search on the roll
(search on the roll)
Search on the roll
(searching round the roll)
Search on the roll
(search)
With your fingernail
Again and again
And again and again
And again.
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff.
People people Chorus: Brown paper, white paper
Paper paper Stick it together with tape
Paper paper The tape of love
People people
People people
Pencil pencil
Pencil pencil
Paper paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sello tape
Oh baby baby
Yeah
Today's Small Thing is all about sticky stuff of your choosing. You can make it about sticky kisses if you want to, but you could also stick new pictures on your fridge or stick a treat into a lunch bag. You could glue something that's broken, or tape a verse to a mirror. You could make sticky buns or eat cotton candy or some kind of chocolate bar with caramel in it. You could stick cheerios onto construction paper as a craft! Hey, how about sticking with your exercise program? Naaah. You could clean up a sticky mess, or remove the sticker goo that was left by a price tag on some object around your house. Is there any end? No, you can search around the roll with your fingernail, again and again....
YOU CHOOSE your sticky task today. Anything goes, as long as you could somehow use the word "sticky" (or stick, sticking, sticker etc.) in describing what you're doing.
POINTS: 50 for finding the sticky stuff of life and having fun with it! Silliness counts an extra 10 points.
What can you do with sticky stuff? Let us know! (This might make a great blog post to share over coffee tomorrow.....)
