Bless You

The body is an amazing vessel, but it can sometimes be annoying. For example, I hate sweating. I hate it when my eye twitches like a crack addict, but I can't figure out why. I hate that my second biggest toe on my left foot has been kind of numb for a couple weeks, but I can move it, so it must not be broken, right? But an uncontrollable bodily function I can get behind is sneezing. I love sneezing. It's just so satisfying to get that feeling, like, oh, I'm going to sneeze, and then WACHOO! Then you're left with a feeling of calm and people bless you, which is kind of nice.

I mean, nobody says, "bless you" after you cough or when your stomach growls or when you fart. Sneezing, for some reason, is socially acceptable and worthy of good wishes. Unless, of course, you sneeze on someone, don't cover your nose/mouth, or sneeze so hard that is blows the hair of the person in front of you on the bus. People don't like that and that kind of behavior and it definitely won't earn you any sympathy. Maybe an "f" you or an icy stare, but nobody will be wishing God to bless you, that's for sure.
