20 seconds too late

via thisisnthappiness.

I often feel like I have these super awesome comebacks but then I'm always 20 seconds too late.

And timing is everything.

I sometimes try to be extra smart and look into my future and foresee uncomfortable situations where I may need to defend myself with a great comeback.

But somehow those uncomfortable situations that I wish would happen just don't.

A few years ago this is what happened with let's just say "Somebody that I used to know".

Somebody: I just went skydiving and it was great.

Me: Hmm.

Somebody: It was such an amazing experience. What a rush! Blah blah blah.

Me: Really?

Somebody: It was so good. It's even better than sex.

20 seconds later...

Me (in my mind): Are you sure you're doing it right?

Oh well!

My mind felt like I had won a battle.
