Today is a good day I think for drabbles

So a drabble is just a short story that is exactly 100 words long. They are also super fun to write. Here is one.

“I hate that phrase: ‘no use crying over spilt milk.’ Either it’s saying that crying about milk is stupid, in which case the adjective is unnecessary, or it implies that there is a better time to cry, either while the milk is spilling, which is clearly a time for action, or before the milk is spilt, which would just lead to constant sobbing in front of a full glass of milk. I posit that after the milk is spilt is the only rational time to cry.”
[A short pause.]
“That,” Dan said “is exactly why she broke up with you.”
