Terrible, Horrible, No Good…

alexander.jpgLast Sunday, I was delighted when Pastor read an excerpt from one of my all time favorite children’s books: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Today, my life is giving me excellent opportunity for a parody.

I knew it was going to be a bad day when I found out that my bank is discontinuing one of the best things they ever did. I’ve used One Stop to track all of my online accounts for a long time, and they’re quitting it. I could have used One Stop in Australia.

I could use One Stop any time my internet was working. But that’s not a big deal at the moment because I don’t have internet at home. I get a great signal and my computer tells me it’s on, until I try to use it. Makes research hard from the comfort of my room. I bet they have better internet in Australia.

And my computer hates me. I really try to be nice to it–even spilled ice cream on it!–but it is still mean. This morning it ate a UCC assignment. I hope my prof doesn’t make me do it all over again. Maybe he will move to Australia. Australia starts with “A,” which would be a good thing.

And when I came to Panera for lunch, they didn’t put any chicken on my chicken ceasar salad. I hope that next time they order a chicken ceasar salad the chicken falls off and lands in Australia.

    I love that book!

    Good parody too. I liked the part about being nice to your computer by spilling ice cream on it.
