Kate: Hello, may I have a plastic bag?
Gift Shop Teller: Sure.
*hands me the bag*
*I create water proof shirt*
Kate: Hello, may I, by chance have a second plastic bag?
Gift Shop Teller: Absolutely! That is a great idea - I love it!
Kate: Great! Thanks! I need to make some trousers.
Gift Shop Teller: Why is the bag upside down?
Kate: (in my mind) Do you know how a plastic bag works? I don't want a water receptacle. I want something to prevent me from getting wet.
Kate: Oh, I need it to be this way to stay dry.
Gift Shop Teller: Right.
Teenage girl at movie theater: Woe, cool outfit!
Kate: Thanks!
Teenage girl at movie theater: That's awesome! Did you make it yourself?
Kate: Yeah, it's actually pretty easy. You just use two plastic bags.
Teenage girl at movie theater: (Clearly unimpressed immediately)
--> Lesson: Less is more. I was way cooler before telling said girl that I was, in fact, wearing plastic bags.
I pride myself on being prepared. I like to pack efficiently in the sense that I am ready for anything. A great example, I packed a scarf for my December trip to Florida. FLORIDA! This proved highly beneficial as we experienced extreem cold temperatures for the area. I find items like ponchos highly unnecessary at amusement parks. I believe it one visits such a place they either come prepared or intend on getting soaked. As I arrived at the park slightly unprepared and with no desire to get soaked, I had to rely on my creative mind and people skills. I went to the gift shop. I found a loophole in the pocho-selling theme park system. How, one may ask? A little well known invention - the plastic bag.
