Deer: Cute and Evil
I almost hit a deer on my way to work. While many people thought deer were cute, I
knew the truth. “You’re a car wrecking, tick carrying, plant eating, vermin
from the bowels of hell,” I said out loud.
I laughed at my overreaction to the deer, but my thoughts turned
to how cuteness often hides danger.
The dessert ‘Death by Chocolate’ sounds funny and cute,
unless you’re diabetic.
The evil ex may still look cute, but probably hasn’t become
any less toxic.
The cartoon animals on the scratch-off ticket seem cute to
the gambler, until she’s spent a paycheck on them.
Certain drinks can seem too cute be considered ‘real drinks’,
even by someone with a drinking problem. “It’s just orange juice and champagne.”
“Not going to be fooled by cuteness today,” I said as the
deer wandered off the road, looking back with what I imagined was a sneer.
Today I’ll beware of danger wrapped in cuteness.
