Consider the humble bag of carrots.
There it goes down the conveyor.
Whoosh!
But wait! Look at the date on the package.
Best if used by 11.09.12.
By then, the election will be over. We hope.
If the carrots can make it, so can you.
Hang on. It may come down to the wire.
But don’t give up!
Smile and think of the day when carrots expire.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV
Don’t Give Up by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. A little melodrama goes nicely with beta carotene.
Name a root vegetable without repeating any named in the comments before yours.
Potatoes
nicely done, Lynn
turnips!
good one, Diana
This made me laugh. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Sara. But uh, aren’t you forgetting to name your root vegetable? :)
My knowledge of root vegetables is limited. And though I could probably use google, I’d feel like a cheater.
I’m preserving my integrity.
Good call. Lol.
I also am further convinced we are separated at birth, I’m guessing that you don’t share the Cheese Its either? I consider that my “pay” for enduring the grocery store with toddlers!
I must confess, that Family Pack of Cheese Its is for my son. If I’m to have any of them, I must sneak them when he’s at school :)
Parsnips!
I’m so glad it’s a proper bag of carrots, too… I’m somewhat of a grammar freak, and not many grocery ads annoy me more than those touting specials on “baby peeled carrots.” Those would be carrots peeled by babies, for goodness sakes!
Lol. Those are not real baby carrots anyway, are they?
beets me.
wordsmith :)
rutabega!
my thoughts exactly.
