Plucked and Beheaded

So, if you'll recall my post from earlier, the water was freezing when I took my shower. Well, to follow-up, as one might expect the water was warm as soon as I came back to brush my teeth. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. And with that sentence I just thought of my topic! 10 points to spontaneity! Or Gryffindor. Whichever you prefer.

You probably already figured what I'm going to post, but nonetheless, here I go.

The saying "that's the way the the cookie crumbles" is a strange saying. Who thought of using cookies as a metaphor for life? And what type of cookies? In any case, who ever thought of it was likely eating a cookie at the time. I'm still not sure how the saying came to being, and why it's not some other food like "that's the way the pizza's sliced" or "that's the way the chicken's plucked and beheaded" I am also unsure as to how the saying grew a negative connotation. Last I checked, you can still eat a crumbled cookie and it will taste the same. Well, that's how I've been raised at least. However, I am sure of this:

Murphy's law seems to
Be not unlike the way that
The cookie crumbles


Have you noticed that? Whenever something bad happens to someone they say "that's the way the cookie crumbles" as in one can expect bad things in life. It's just so pessimistic. Here's what I suggest: Take back the cookie! Bring it back as a positive reinforcement of good behavior! If something good happens to someone, say "that's the way the cookie crumbles into delicious melted chocolaty bits of goodness!" The end. I will now eat a cookie which I conveniently keep in my backpack.

Also, on another note, my 100th post is quickly approaching and I will be presenting you with a surprise for it.
