I’ve spent way too much time on Twitter today. Also I did that yesterday. And the day before that. Look, it’s been a weird year, let’s just say I’ve had more time than usual on my plate and that site has a way of sucking you in. Don’t judge me. There are so many tweets!
What keeps me coming back for more of course are the funny ones, some of which I’d like to pass onto you right now, so that you can share in my addiction and I feel a little less weird about it.
12. Personal problems
I may or may not have lied about this a lot.
Some of you ya’ll never read 100 books to get a personal pan pizza and it shows

11. Fully committed
This is a moment of either ardent determination or total despair.
What’s it called when you wake up five minutes before your alarm goes off but you’re still fully committed to going back to sleep? I’m that.

10. Dad jokes are universal.

9. Might want to have that checked out.
My son was SO cute today, he asked me “dad are clouds candy?” 😍 I told him they were water. 💦 Then he asked “Dad, what’s the Earth’s defense system?” and then I remembered I don’t have a son and he asked again with his eyes obsidian black “what is the defense system father”

8. They’ll get over it
I was raised as an only child. My siblings took it pretty hard

7. Rise up
Who, me? Nah I’m doin’ great. Living the dream.

6. Stick together
If you’re feeling fried, well so am I.
Friend: I need advice.
Me: *trying to use mozzarella sticks as chopsticks* I am here for you.

5. Recovery periods
By 50 if you blink wrong you have to go to the hospital.

4. The cow says…
I was really anticipating some sort of Dr. Dolittle situation to arise at some point.
Can’t believe how much time my parents spent teaching me what sounds barnyard animals make. I have almost never needed that as an adult.

3. Not my type
Where no one will ever, EVER read them…
Emails just aren't safe. We should hide state secrets deep in the story parts of recipe blogs.

2. Sweetie pie
Just another lovely little slice of life story.
"Thanks again, for all that you do for me"

1. Captain Ravioli
I don’t know why I relate to this so hard but I do.
One time when I was like 11 my dad took me to an Italian restaurant and the waiter asked what my name was and I said “Sam but you can call me captain ravioli” and my dad just looked at me and said “what the fuck was that? don’t do that” and I’ve been chasing that high ever since.

It’s a pleasant little diversion, Twitter. Just don’t go anywhere near politics while you’re visiting. Your head will explode.
