What is Life?

The (in)famous Question 6

What Is Life?
Smiles. Giggles. Looking at yourself in the morning. Happiness. Your mother showing friends your naked baby pictures. Realizing you aren't what you thought you were. Having a license but no car. Falling in love. Falling out of love. Falling in love all over again. Unstoppable laughter. Power. Getting buried in the sand. Fear. Never remembering what you were just talking about. Finishing a crossword all by yourself. Getting an A on a test. Getting your braces off. Never losing focus. Riding your bike for the first time. Baby-sitting your brother. Working hard for what you want. Learning about the bees, but never understanding the birds. Fighting over the remote control. Passion. Realizing Santa is really your father. Realizing the Tooth fairy is also your father. Helping your mother bake a cake. Sticking your finger in the frosting when she isn't looking. Food fights at school. Enjoying silence. Meeting Mickey Mouse. Sitting in awe, staring at fireworks. Scoring the winning goal. Walking in the rain. Dreaming of the future. Losing track of time when in the deepest of converstations. Getting the phone one ring too late. Burning your hand on that damn oven, twice. Learning how to lose. Watching all those stupid infomercials and not understanding why. Telling the teacher the dog ate your homework. Fighting with a friend, then arguing who should apologize first. A fresh cup of coffee in the morning. Running into old friends. Hugging your parents before you leave for college. Sinking a hole in one. Chatting on the Internet. Imagining yourself in a movie. Remembering lines from your favourite movies. Learning to say "mama". Confusion. Thinking about nothing. Making fun of your best friends. Finally getting the answer to a math problem. Super gluing your hands to your desk. Irony. Telling someone what life is, in five hundred words or less.
