Day #16 What is the absolute hardest thing about staying alive?

I think the hardest thing about staying alive is probably  having to work so  hard to avoid accidentally getting yourself killed everyday.  If you've ever seen the show "A Thousand Ways To Die"  you know that  ANYTHING and EVERYTHING can kill you. Plus, you don't always have control on how you die. Though that is true, you still have to be careful everyday and try to NOT get yourself killed. You have to LOOK before you cross a road so you don't get run over. You have to carry the scissors DOWN. You have to make sure there isn't any water on the floor by your feet when you open an oven. You have to make sure you're watching your hands when you wash the knives after supper. You have to make sure you stay away from sharp things. You have to make sure you don't accidentally drink draino or windex. You have to make sure you don't slam your car into a tree.  You have to make sure you don't die EVERYDAY. And sometimes, it can be exhausting! I mean, wouldn't life be so much easier if we just HIRED people to make sure we don't die? They could look before we cross the road. They could wash the knives. They would dry the floors before we open ovens. They could check stuff before we eat it so it doesn't melt our insides. I mean, that would solve SO MANY PROBLEMS, RIGHT?! It's so difficult to pay attention for our own well-being! Why should we have to work so hard to stay alive? Why should we be so cautious? I don't know about you, but as soon as maids start doubling as "Keep you from dying" assistants, i'm hiring one! I don't WANT to die, and I don't want to deal with the stress of having to make sure that I DON'T!

So, if anyone wants to volunteer as my "Keep you from dying" assistant, I would appreciate it.


Just Kidding.

In all honesty, now, the hardest thing about staying alive is food. You know when you come home from school and look in your pantry and you can't find anything good to eat and you're afraid you're going to starve to death because you don't like nachos or cheetos or pudding or candy or ice-cream? Yeah. Thats the hardest part about staying alive. Finding good food to eat so you don't starve.........until supper time.
