I love...straw wrappers.

Today I got a pop...a soda pop...a fountain soda pop, to be more specific. I don't normally drink pop, so this was a special treat. But the pop itself wasn't the only treat, because along with the pop I got a straw for sipping purpose, and along with the straw came a wrapper. So you know what that means...it was time to find out if someone was thinking about me!

That's right, you don't need a fortune teller or a crystal ball to find out if someone is thinking about you. All you need is a straw wrapper.

It's easy. You remove your straw from the wrapper, tie the empty wrapper in a knot, and if the knot breaks then someone is thinking about you (happy face), or if it doesn't break then no one is thinking about you (sad face).

Or, wait, is it if the knot does break then someone is thinking about you or if it doesn't break then someone is thinking about you...?


That's the thing. I've tied a lot of straw wrappers into knots in my life, but I'm not sure what the outcome means. I've never really known. Yet I still tie every straw wrapper I use in a knot. Even the plastic ones, which is silly since they don't really break...they just stretch and twist and then kind of cling to your hands...frankly, it's annoying. But regardless, I still tie them.

I've held up many a garbage can line while making sure to tie my straw wrapper before throwing it away. And in my purse you can often find bits and pieces of straw wrappers that were at one time tied and broken...or not broken.

Is someone thinking about me? Is no one thinking about me? As far as I know, it could be both. I guess you could say people are always *knot* thinking about me (hahahaha...ha).

My point is (yes, there is a point)...order those drinks, use those straws, and tie those wrappers, cause the world is full of straw wrappers just waiting to tell you that someone may or may not be thinking about you.

And on second thought, maybe it wouldn't hurt to get a crystal ball? Then the crystal ball could tell you what it means when the knot in your straw wrapper breaks!
