We're Just Tubes, Man

She's eight months old today, and seems bent on mastering the material plane of existence. A few nights ago, due to negligence on my part, she swallowed a tiny piece of cardboard - actually, it was part of a boxtop from a little box of Sun*Maid raisins. Anyway, it made its way out the other end the next morning. It was a little piece of yellow cardboard with the word "SUN" written on it. Alan Watts was right: Human beings are just complicated tubes, meant for putting things in one end and letting them out the other.
