PLAN B
It's scary to think that, no matter how much we plan and prepare, life just simply doesn't always turn out how we want it to.
Some friends and I were discussing this the other night, and we got ourselves a little worked up.
What if none of us ever finds the person we're supposed to be with?
What if I flunk out of school, never become a teacher, and then discover that I can't have kids?
What if Sarah can't become a nurse?
What if Shawn never makes it as a rock star, a famous actor, or director?
What is Jordan never becomes a household name?
It's scary!
So we came up with a back-up plan.
Dubbed very originally as Plan B.
If our lives go awry, we'll simply live in a commune.
Sarah will birth everyone's babies [Remember, my uterus has been deemed barren and uninhabitable].
With her medical experiences during nursing school, she'll also take over all medical care and emergencies.
She's also the best cook out of the four of us, so she'll spend a lot of time in the kitchen. [Barefoot and pregnant. Heehee...]
I will mainly take responsibility for rearing the children.
When they are old enough, I will begin their formal home schooling education.
And I'm a neat-freak, so I'll make sure that our commune is spotless.
Shawn and Jordan, as the resident gays, will be responsible for wardrobe, decorating, and entertainment.
They will sew our clothing, arrange furniture, and perform works of Shakespeare.
[We might live in a commune, but dammit, we will be cultured.]
I, for one, am comforted by Plan B.
At least I know I won't end up alone.
It's always best to over-prepare.
