A monologue by Janet S. Tiger
(Woman in 60s stands up, looks around)
I was wild in high school, barely survived college!
Now, my idea of danger is- sometimes, I reach for the toaster, and lift it by the top, with my hands touching the inside! And for an extra thrill, I don't dry my hands too much!
As yet, no charge - no electrifying zap. But that's not all I do. Sometimes, when I am washing the clothing, I forget the bleach - on purpose. What if there was a stain I missed? That got something contaminated that the hot water and the dryer didn't eradicate? What if a terrible illness spread throughout the land, just like in Albert Camus' The Plague?
(Sighs) But it doesn't. I do remember that one book from the one college class I was not completely drunk in - it was the middle of the day, so my hangover had subsided, and the teacher was adorable, so I would actually pay attention. He was older, oh, he must've been 40! Oh, how old that was! And he looked at me, and listened to me! I almost learned something in that class!
Maybe I did, Camus. I read a few of his books and I think that's what got me started into teaching English. That was the end. You can't be a drunk teacher. And I married another teacher. (Laughs) Yes, I married the Camus teacher. The old man. He was never wild in college, so I had to settle down. (Laughs and shakes head) Old.......now he really is an old man.....and I am still 20 years younger ......and his caregiver.
We were young and then we got old.....and then he got sick. Amazing how the things you never plan for happen. Surprise!
So now my crazy is little bits stolen.....speeding around a corner when I see there are no cops. Taking a nip before bed......the same bottle for a year because.....I can't be drunk now and make a mistake on the pills.
So I look for new adventures! What do you guys do that's wild and crazy! Tell the truth!
(She turns to the others and they tell her....in another day's blog)
