if...

we all know the deal: you did something stupid (in my case, happens every day) and you think “oh f*ck, if I had done that / if I went that way / if I just did this…”

although the swearing is a relief, the “if” will remain in the past, or in the not-happened future or whatever

but then again, there are a lot of things that would be very convenient if they would have happened

for example

you find yourself at the supermarket with a relative

plan is to buy only necessary supplies, you can’t in fact take too much since you came by bike

but after a while both you and your, let’s say for instance aunt, are becoming quite invisible, hidden behind a stack of stuff you need

and of course you forgot a basket at the entrance (why would you need one, you can carry the few necessary supplies)

how convenient would it be if your aunt had wheels… she would be a cart

and you can drop your stack in your family shopping cart

other example:

you’re cooking and you’re out of milk (won’t happen to me, given my allergy but soit, doesn’t matter here)

and you’re not just out of milk from that one carton left in the fridge, you’re out of milk in your entire house

now, you can go ask for milk at the neighbours, but since they are on holidays, you would have to go knock the other neighbours’ door, and you can’t stand them…

how convenient would it be, if you had a cow!!

or even better, since a cow takes up a lot of space in your (tiny) backyard, produces large amounts of you know what, and worst of all attracts flies, … so even better, if you’d have a cat!

why? easy: if our cat was a cow, we could milk her under the stove

makes sense, no?

no?
