CHAPTER 1
Life’s a Joke
‘Is everything a joke to you, Carmichael?’
Ugh.
That question.
Again.
I don’t know how to write a sigh but just know that I’m sighing as I write this.
Hearing it once more that afternoon at school, I felt like I’d been asked the same question my whole LIFE, or at least the majority of my near fourteen years on the planet.
And yet, for as long as I can remember I’ve found LIFE a bit of a laughable pastime.
LIFE:
- Wake up: why? Sleep is amazing.
- Go to school: put on a miniature suit (weird) and travel through the rain (probably, because: London) to a building to find out about long division, split infinitives, how to bake rock cakes and other things you will NEVER NEED TO KNOW IN THE FUTURE.
- Come home: tell your parents about your day (yuck).
- Tomorrow: do the EXACT SAME THINGS AGAIN.
