A lesson on life...from Cha Cha

Yes, you may start most things by following the social norms...because it is what is expected. Following the rules can sometimes get you exactly what it is that your heart desires. Like ice cream with blue sprinkles, eaten politely with a spoon and a dignified pinky in the air.

But there usually isn't much adventure in being a rules man. And sometimes being polite only gets you so far. Afterall, there are morsels in life that are out of manner's reach. There is ice cream left in the rim of the cup that the spoon cannot scoop out. So you make a decision: keep the pinky in the air with your supposed dignity in tact, or dig right in and get what you want.

Life very often tastes better when it's a little messy.
