Life is a teapot, wide in

the middle and usually a bit

on the short side. The teapot’s long

spout keeps hot stuff at

a safe distance, unless, you

splash willy-nilly, being

someone who doesn’t mind

 messes. A good handle also helps,

particularly when handling copious

amounts of hot water. Unless, of course,

you tend to lean into hot water

situations, which is your prerogative. And

don’t forget to keep a good lid on

it, unless you don’t mind

something unexpectedly plopping

right into your lap. That’s another life

style choice, of course, and will

determine exactly what type

of teapot you choose.
