5 Minute Freewrite Day 381: Primate

So, why do you have that purple eye?

People get offended too easily…

Maybe, but they don’t punch each other for existing you know, so, explain

Well.. you know that big guy from my school?, the one that plays football?

Oh yeah, I think his name is Dave or something, what happened with him?

Well, this morning some of his fans were talking about the last game. How amazing he was, how he ran trough the other teams defenses like nothing, stuff that I don’t really care about. But then they started making attempts at metaphors.

And you got mad because of it?

No!, what kind of child do you think I am?. The thing is, they started saying stuff like “he’s a bull”, “he’s a bear”, because strength and such. I was getting annoyed because the teacher didn’t come, so I said out loud “well, he’s technically a primate”, and they got mad, we argued, I sustained my statement… and got punched.

You didn’t…!

Yes I did, what is the problem with that?, all humans are primates, and primates are strong, so I don’t see the need to compare with other animals.

Dude, you need to start being less literal about things… just stay quiet and let me get you some ice for that.
