Isn’t it odd how
when people say, “This won’t hurt a bit,”
it usually does?
Isn’t it odd how
when people say, “I see,”
they usually don’t?
Isn’t it odd how
when people say, “It’s over,”
It
almost

never
is?
Isn’t that odd?

It's one of those weird times when lying to small children is considered acceptable.
