Clone Wars

I know this will not come as surprise to anyone but I'm surrounded by mini chips. I have these moments of realization in my daily life that make me stop and say "damn, how stupid am I"? I was working my ass off mowing the lawn, pruning and doing various outside chores. I needed to go in to get dinner started for the kids because I was going to be running all night for sports. As I entered the house I looked to my left and there, in the family room, each on their own chair or couch were Gus, Chip and Gwen. They were all sitting exactly the same way. Slouched way down in their seats staring at the TV. I swear it looked like Chip had cloned himself twice. None of them paid any attention to the fact that I have been outside for the last hour trying to get some work done so the neighbors don't think we are total slobs even though we so obviously are. I can't even believe that I didn't see it before. Yeah, sure, I've always known that they look similar. They have a lot of the same features and they definitely act a lot alike, but at that moment in time they were him. The causes of my aching head were lying there like three bumps on a log. Just imagine if bump number one actually showed bumps two and three that it is possible to get up and do something productive to help clean up and improve the log. Instead bump one just tells two and three what they should be doing and then proceeds to ignore the fact that sitting on the couch watching TV neither cleans nor improves the log in any way shape or form. Somethings got to give. Either the bumps have to become little worker ants, or I'm gonna have to pound the bumps out of my log. Since the latter would probably get me some jail time, I'm hoping for the former. Ants are exactly what I need. We all have to pull together like an ant colony and work together to get some stuff done. Until that happens, we will live in squalor and I will feel resentful. My new goal is to work on smoothing my log. We'll have to see how that goes 'cause it is pretty damn bumpy.
