“You know what? Chicken butt!”
~Toni Armenta Andrukaitis
**************************
Such a crazy quote, right? When I was a kid, I remember we always used to say, “You know what? You know what?” That was just part of the beginning of every sentence. Then, we had a goofy response. So, when someone would ask, “You know what,” the response would be, “chicken butt.” I have no idea why, or when it started or when in stopped, I just remember it was funny.
So, the other day when I was walking, I saw this shape of tar or some strange substance on the sidewalk. You know what I saw? What do you see?
I saw an elephant’s butt. It looks like an elephant walking away from me. Do you see it? That’s why I thought of the chicken butt thing.
Now do you see it? Yep! A little imagination and a weird perception of the world. It’s a gift…it’s a curse.
