I’m More Stupider When I Travel

If you ever see me when I get out of bed, brush my teeth, and make coffee, you might mistake me for a genius.

The way I put both feet on the floor, squeeze the toothpaste tube all by myself, and manage to get the coffee into the cup are all hallmarks of someone very, very intelligent.

But take me out of my own home and my natural gifts decline.

Particularly when I travel.

Where my stupiderness expands

Quotes by Stephan Pastis (?)

“If a restaurant offers crayons, I always take them and color throughout the meal. It beats talking to the people I came to dinner with.”
