Memka & LateHomework

I was just watching the curtain sway in the window, and it struck me how those slow drapes can be like a perfect excuse for not starting anything on time, don’t you think?
LateHomework
Yeah, drapes are the ultimate “I’ll start when the wind changes” kind of excuse – until the deadline actually blows in.
Memka
Exactly, and by the time the deadline actually blows, the curtain’s already finished the whole scene—just a reminder that procrastination often plays out in the most theatrical ways.
LateHomework
Exactly—by the time the deadline hits, the curtain’s already left the stage and the show’s over, and we’re still stuck in the lobby.

Maybe the tea cup on the table is a small clue—if we just let it cool, it might remind us that the show isn’t over until the last sip is gone, even if the curtain already left.
LateHomework
Sure, the tea cup is the ultimate “keep watching the clock” prop—just when it’s gone, you’ll finally realize the show was over all along.Sure, the tea cup is the ultimate “keep watching the clock” prop—just when it’s gone, you’ll finally realize the show was over all along.

Maybe I’ll just keep sipping until the tea turns to ink, and when the last drop disappears I’ll finally notice the curtains have been rolling down for a long time.
LateHomework
Sipping until the tea turns to ink sounds like the perfect plan—just remember, once that last drop evaporates, the curtain’s probably already finished the whole drama, and you’ll still be left with a dry mug.
