The Amazing One-Legged Girl has lately taken to musing on the very ho-hum phrase "well at least I have my health." When wheeling past someone picking up trash on the side of the road or laying concrete in 87% humidity at 1pm in Texas, she has thought, "well my leg is dramatically broken, which sucks, but at least I am not expected to do that."
It recently came to her attention that other people are pulling the exact same number on her. A "flip flop." That kindly janitor might be thinking, "that looks horribly inconvenient, at least I have my health."
oh how the tables are turned.
Does it feel good to be the lowest rung by which people compare their lives? no, not for anyone.
