Today’s topic is “6 things people do that you think are beyond lazy.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

I thought long and hard about laziness and decided that I wanted to show you some dumb inventions that lazy people would truly appreciate.

1.  For when you don’t feel like picking over the kernels in your popcorn.

2. Or using your arm muscles.

3. Or holding your portable fan.

4. Or throwing your own water balloons.

5. Don’t feel like reaching “down there?”

6. Or boiling an egg…you know. On the stove?

2. I can make babies come out of my body without any pain medicine.
3. I have a fantastic talent for holding in my personal gasses until I am not around anyone, including my husband.  Although we reached an agreement over a year ago, we still do not “crack the cheese” around one another.
4. I can breastfeed while shopping.  If I have a sling, I can usually nurse while walking around the grocery store.  I have also recently been spotted nursing during a choir rehearsal.
5. I can make dolphin noises. And no, I will not demonstrate.
6. But I will demonstrate this:

I pulled out my old copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends and Corey read to Aiden for at least half an hour.
