It’s Alive!

Daily writing prompt
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Those who are regulars at my blog won’t be surprised that the opening lines are, “It was reliably reported that I was born at 2 AM, and my first act was to pee in the nurse’s eye.” Without much in the way of blandishment, it provides a good summary of my first hour or so. Distribute a bit of misery, go to sleep afterward and then wake up and demand breakfast. Brat!

Yeah, nothing noble, just me doing what I do best, goofing off till it’s time to get on stage, and then pissing people off. Keeping my mother in labor till two, doing the dirty irrigation of the poor nurse’s eye, I was in at the opening, magnanimous to all!

So that’s it. Simple. To the point, and Illustrative. What more could any editor want?

  1. That little pisser better look up the meaning of magnanimous. I think it was probably the nurse and other people you pissed off instead of pissing on that were the magnanimous ones, forgiving thee. Once a pisser, always a pisser! ;o). Now you get a chance to be magnanimous in forgiving me for this comment, Louis!!!
