“I told the tree it was going nowhere in life. It was hurtful, but true. Now, maybe in death it will go somewhere, as furniture.”

“A tree once saved my life. A posse was going to hang me, but this wise old oak would not let them. As a token of my gratitude to that tree, I used it for furniture instead of firewood.”

“A brick could be used to motivate. Just hold it up as an example of something that’s going nowhere in life.

“I told you I didn’t want to go. Of course, I really did want to go, but I just said I didn’t want to go so you’d beg me to go and I could feel needed. I’m needy like that.”

“I’m at a point in my life where I feel like I can’t go anywhere. Maybe I’ll try to coax my cat off my lap so I can get up and move.”

“I think trees should bloom earlier in the spring. They act like they are on a schedule. It’s not like they have anywhere to go.”

“It’s just a dream, I told myself. I hate when I dream of alarm clocks going off.”
