Stupid proverbs...
"A watched pot never boils."
Taken literally, this is a ridiculous statement. Maybe that is the reason that I am wholly unable to abide by its figurative wisdom. Not only does my dumb ass sit near the pot whenever possible, but I stare at the pot. Often, I try to trick the pot by looking at it only out of the corner of my eye. Even if the pot doesn't directly notice my (super-sneaky!) gaze, I'm pretty sure the fact that I'm only two feet away counts as "watching" it.
I'm so scared about missing that first vapor bubble that I let everything else pass me by.
Do you want to know the worst part? Sometimes I don't even turn on the stove. It's like I expect the pot of room-temp water to say "Woohoo! Let's boil!" and heat itself up.

I am pretty sure you are on crack, or either so bored you needed to post this inane piece of crap... hehe.
I would have liked it better if you had attacked the piece of crap proverb "The Early Bird Gets the Worm." The early bird can suck it cause I don't like worms.
Ben! has a blogger?! haha you crack me up w/ your trying to trick the pot, trying to play mind games with a pot that doesn't have a mind! I sometimes sit by the pot w/ a book, so therefore i can hear it boil ;o)
