Look at this guy. He's just standing there, looking all innocent. And then there's the girl, doing a handstand.
I stumbled upon this cartoon. And I gotta tell ya, it got me thinking.
Look at this guy. He's just standing there, looking all innocent. And then there's the girl, doing a handstand. A handstand! Now, I'm not saying I've never done a handstand, but let's just say my flexibility is more "stiff board" than "human pretzel."
But the real kicker is what she's saying. "Mother said not to let you kiss me on the mouth." Okay, so her mom's a little overprotective. I get it. My mom still calls me to make sure I'm not "talking to strangers" online, and I'm 35! I'm like, "Mom, the only strangers I talk to are the ones trying to sell me extended car warranties!"
But here's the thing. She's doing a handstand. Her mouth is… well, it's a lot closer to the ground than it is to his. It's like saying, "Don't drink and drive" while you're already in the driver's seat, doing donuts in a parking lot.
I mean, if you're really worried about him kissing you on the mouth, maybe the handstand is not the best position to be in, right? It's like trying to avoid getting wet by jumping in the shower. It's… counterproductive.
And this guy, he's just standing there, looking at her like, "So… what now?" Is he supposed to, like, lean down and kiss her feet? Is that the loophole? "Well, Mom said no mouth kisses, but she didn't say anything about forehead kisses on the ankles!"
This is the kind of stuff that makes me question everything. Like, what are the unspoken rules of dating in the upside-down world? Do you have to ask permission to borrow their socks? Do you have to pay rent if you're hanging out at their place… literally?
I tried to do a handstand once, just to see if I could impress someone. It did not go well. I ended up looking like a confused starfish that had just been dropped on its face. My date, bless her heart, just handed me an ice pack and asked if I needed help finding my car. So, yeah, I'm not exactly in a position to be judging anyone's acrobatic kissing strategies.
But seriously, this cartoon. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most obvious solutions are the ones we overlook. If you don't want someone to kiss you on the mouth, maybe just… don't be in a handstand when they're around? Or, you know, just say, "Hey, my mom's a little weird, but I'm not really feeling it right now." It's not that complicated, people!
Unless, of course, she's trying to communicate something deeper. Maybe she's saying, "I'm going through a phase, Mom! I'm exploring my boundaries! And my boundaries currently involve gravity and a distinct lack of facial contact!"
Anyway, thanks for listening, folks! You've been a great audience. Drive safe, and try not to end up in any upside-down kissing situations. Goodnight!
