The Noticeable Sign of Affection

Sometimes when a person wakes up in the morning, he or she can automatically tell if the day is going to be ordinary, or somewhat-ordinary. Every person has had these types of days because when asked how the day went the only reply that comes to mind is "Well, nothing really". When a somewhat-ordinary day occurs, a person can elaborate by telling a sign or event that seemed out of the routine. Like a slot machine, a person can never anticipate if the day is going to be ordinary, or extraordinary.

Since childhood, I have seen signs that can make a person's day somewhat ordinary. The biggest example is when I am walking around the house and my brother or dad point out something to me. The description can be put into a somewhat riddle: What appears on your face when you least expect it, and is given to you after someone delivers it? The answer: Lipstick imprint. Sometimes I am talking to my brother and he says, "Oh looks like you got hit too". Thinking about this statement, I ponder on what he means until I look into the mirror.

Usually at that moment I cry out in my mind "Gah!" I rub my cheek, yet it does not come off that easily. Amazing what that substance is made of, there must be a fine print on those things saying "Warning, can make implants on cheeks when touched, some side effects on a victim may be vigorous wiping, or a need to use water. After the crisis has passed, I hear "Who else wants to go on trip through the shopping universe?, oh and you have an appointment so you have no choice." In submission I walk to the car and think "Time to break out the brochures."
