WHEN THE PERSON IN FRONT OF US AT BEN’S CHILI BOWL ASKED WHAT THE PRESIDENT ORDERED
And I looked at my friend like…

And he responded…

But secretly, we were both like…
WHEN I FOUND OUT I HAD TO GO TO CVS TO BUY A SMARTRIP CARD
Instead of, oh I don’t know, in one of the Metro stations…

WHEN MY FRIEND AND I TURN OUR BACKS FOR ALL OF TWO MINUTES
And return to find my windshield covered in parking tickets…
WHEN I FORGET TO ASK FOR A BAG
And the cashier actually refuses to give me one until I dig around for a nickel…

WHEN BACKSTROM SENDS A WRISTER PAST THOMAS IN 2OT

And later, when I think about those poor Boston fans heading home disappointed…

WHEN SOMEONE REFERENCES SOME OBSCURE 6-LETTER GOVERNMENT AGENCY ACRONYM
And I pretend to know what they are talking about…

But if they read through me and spell it out, I’m just like…

WHEN I SEE A GTOWN STUDENT LOADING UP ON WAY TOO MUCH ARISTOCRAT AT DIXIE LIQUORS
On the outside…

But then nostalgia sets in, and on in the inside…
