A few months ago, I introduced you to these animals drawn by Sandra Boynton. (link). With apologies to Ms. Boynton, I'd like to show you what I did with them in my letters:
This is the original:
These are mine:
Since I stole used the cartoon from Ms. Boynton, it seems only fitting that I follow with this post by Man Martin. Besides, he probably was thinking about me when he wrote it on 11/18/13:
I suffer from a strange condition I
hate to bring up in public: I am too good. I don't like saying it because
it makes people feel sorry for me, which is just another manifestation of my
kindness that I have way too much of.
I know they're trying to reassure me, and I
appreciate it because that's the way I am. I can't help being such a good
person, and I take no particular credit for it. You see, added to all my
other good qualities is my towering humility.
For example, when I see on Facebook someone's
donated to the relief effort, I click "like" every time. Every
time. Think of all the "likes" people would get if everyone
were as considerate as I. When Nancy told me she'd donated to the relief
effort in the Philippines, I told her that was nice. That's the kind of
guy I am.
And when I leave a store, I always tell the
cashier, "Have a nice day." Sometimes I just say, "Have a
good one." Keep in mind, I'm not doing this for some life-long
friend, but a complete
stranger. How good can one guy get?
By this time you're thinking, Man, you need to
dial it back a bit. You can't go on giving, giving, giving this way, you
need to take care of yourself as well. I know, but I just can't help it.
I'm too good.
