I spend an exorbitant amount of time and effort keeping myself in check. You know what I mean. Follow God's law, follow man's law, set a good example for the children, try not to annoy the people around you, color inside the lines.
This a good way to live, right? Right?? I mean, we have to behave ourselves so that we can all coexist. If everyone just followed their impulses, ran around all willy-nilly, the world would be utter chaos. Like Bill Murray said in Stripes, "Cats and dogs living together..." People can get hurt like that.
But do you ever yearn to take a peek outside the box? Perhaps inch your foot out the door? Stick your head out and take a look around? Mispronounce something on purpose? Disagree with authority? Laugh too loudly? Scream at the top of your lungs??
I do.

I am definitely a "don't rock the boat" kind of person, probably too much so. Your post makes me think though....
I'm not, either. Maybe fantasizing about rocking the boat is what keeps me sane.
Hmph. You two getting together behind my back kinda scares me.
It's always good to know what scares brothers. ;)
