Just Boil Already!

I'm a big fan of metaphors.

You know the saying, "A watched pot never boils."

It's true.

Here's the trick though: Some of us are puerile and aren't sure if we even turned the burner on. So we're sitting there watching and waiting for the stupid water to boil and the water doesn't even know we WANT it to boil!

And sometimes we've turned the burner on and we're waiting for the water to boil, but all along the water just wanted to be ice cubes, so it's never going to boil.

And the worst part is that if the water just wants to be ice cubes it needs to tell me and I'll put it in the freezer, instead of wishing and hoping that the stupid pot will boil!

Haha! Has my metaphor confused you?
