Cursing the darkness
As Forrest Gump once proclaimed, “Stupid is as stupid does.” By that measure, I haven’t been demonstrating a lot of smarts lately—and it’s not the first time.
When I was about two, Mom told me it was a bad idea to put my hand on a hot burner. I decided to see for myself. When I was about nine, I got excited and started jumping up and down on a folding chair. It folded. Time after time I’ve bitten off more than I could chew, burned the candle at both ends, thrown caution to the wind, and failed to use my head. Stupid is as stupid does.
