An explanation of riches

The Happiest One: Noah*, Why are you always eating all the time?
Me: (Stammering to put an answer that successfully portrays a healthy existence while also explaining the amount of intake into simple English) uh ... well, I ...
The Happiest One: It's because you are so HUGE! (Arms spread wide out over her head)
Me: (Pleased by the incredibly innocent and heartfelt assessment) Yes, because I am huge ... (feeling a surge of incredibly fat man turned just fat man pride) I, um, I also work out before work so I am hungry, very hungry when I get to work.
The Happiest One: (Smiles blankly)
Me: (Wishing I had quit while I was ahead)

*The Happiest One pronounces my name "Now"

Instructions

Based in nose-picker's heaven, the operation of Started Out Dumb will focus on a litany of subjects: the bus system, general affairs in the city as viewed from the bus system, specific intricacies of particular bus routes - most notably the 973 line and even some elements of life that are only loosely tied to buses. The writing style may oscillate wildly as attempts to avoid first person may fall by the way side and a haiku or two may slip through the censors. So it begins. Word to the power of 1.3 billion. May the kingdom of heaven shine down upon this blog and bless it.
