Not What It's Cracked Up to Be

Sometimes, your eyes see that which they cannot avoid.

That sounds profound and spiritual, and I suppose it is...or at least can be. We see our flaws, our failings. Our dreams and the achieving of them. Our friends. Our foes. And, every now and then, we see what we weren't looking for...revelation isn't always what it's cracked up to be.

I took the kids to Chick-Fil-A today to cash in their library freebies from the reading program.
Last summer.
(Thank you, Chick, for honoring expired coupons. Again and again).

The boys were playing while Grace and I were chatting at our table when a guy standing not two feet from me (I exaggerate not) stood up.

Lifted his shirt.
Exposed his drooping jeans and underwear.

And all that they are supposed to cover.
Eww.

Sometimes, your eyes see that which they cannot avoid.

And maybe it's not as spiritual when it happens at Chick-Fil-A...
But it's still not what it's "cracked" up to be.
