Wear Your Glasses When Online

People are always telling me- “Support local businesses, you can order stuff online!” I thought it would be a great idea, and it will be delivered to your front door! I wanted it to be a laid-back day and I needed a few things. I jumped onto my laptop right away.

I wanted to barbeque steaks, so I ordered online: A cow was delivered to my front door.

I wanted Asian appetizers, so I ordered online: An Asian Chef rang my doorbell.

I wanted party favors and decorations, so I ordered online: Some Clown with balloons rang my doorbell.

I wanted to email a few friends to invite them over, So I clicked on my email app and did so: Discovered that I clicked on the wrong app, it was the NextDoor app that I used instead. Half the neighboorhood showed up at my door.

So now I have an Asian Chef, a Clown with balloons, some 40 odd neighbors wandering around my house with a cow tied to my front porch! Now What?

I should’ve worn my glasses!
