There Is a Silly in This Logic MAG
Advice-giver:
It could be worse.
Don’t complain.
You could have gotten eaten by a pineapple-sized
hippopotamus while your boyfriend dumped you.
The pot of boiling water you spilled on yourself
could have been filled with some of those
deadly venomous ladybugs.
The knife that cut off your thumb
could have also dyed your skin the color
of limes.
You could have been trampled by a zombie

or being angry or upset
about something that happened to you

by that cranberry-colored pillowcase you love
then devoured by the Monopoly piece
that always makes you lose.

Advice-getter:
