I walked past the vending machine today. I'm pretty sure that the KitKat Chunkys have developed telepathy, and were today, calling my name.
Thankfully, pesky KitKats, I have no coins.
How long do you reckon it will be before vending machines everywhere are cash-free? The technology's already there, surely, for contactless card payments. Imagine a world where you can just wave your card over a screen, and crisps and chocolate fall out of their spiral cages and into the tray!
I hope it's a long way off; I'm done for with that kind of thing in the world. The only thing to stop me would be my rapidly expanding mass, putting me off wobbling to the machine. Clearly I need better self-control.
Funny. In the Bible, self-control is called a 'fruit' of the Holy Spirit. I think that means that it's supposed to be a sort of natural byproduct of having good roots and solid nutrition.
I actually don't think that healthy trees can help producing fruit! First come the flowers of spring, then second, when the time is right, out pops the fruit, whether the tree is trying or not. The pressure's off.
So it is with self-control then. Oh, plus - it occurs to me now - I didn't have a smoothie today. That may have something to do with it.
I really need to get better at fruit.
