The ideal alibi…

The invite arrives.

Scheme after scheme, your brain plots-

Each one rejected.

To avoid the guilt,

a beloved spouse is blamed-

One perk of marriage.

I wish I could go,

my spouse made previous plans-

The perfect excuse.

Snacking on cookies,

you watch TV in sweatpants-

Home sweet home indeed.

This series is intended to highlight the ridiculous antics of adulthood – a milestone we all wanted to reach as quickly as we could. Unfortunately, the reality of adulthood is not the endless cake and cookie feast we all believed it to be. It turns out, there are a lot of monthly bills and no one cooks you dinner!
