Your child’s Primary teacher will call today and ask you to teach her class this coming Sunday. Suddenly, your throat will feel very scratchy, and you will tell her that you have been feeling ill lately and need to take it easy the rest of the week because this is the type of cold that could, in a few days, lead to full-blown pneumonia, most likely by Sunday.
She will accept your explanation and you will vow silently to make up for this fabricated story somewhere else in your life, possibly by raking the leaves in your widowed mother’s lawn next fall (the ones that are still there from last year).
Throughout the day you will consume large quantities of chocolate and coke. Later, you will hear that Prince Charles is going to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, and wonder what this all means in the eternities and get a little more excited about all of the surprises that will be coming your way in the next life!
