Life As We Know It

I felt estranged from my wife and kids and went out the backyard to get away. I laid on the lawn and looked up at the sky.

One of the stars came towards me. It turned out to be a spaceship. It landed next to me. An alien got out and laid down by my side.

The alien was having troubles at home too. We talked about how you can never count on anything. Life is topsy-turvey.

Just then my wife and kids came out the backyard looking for me. I introduced them to the alien. My wife asked if I wanted to invite my alien friend in for dinner. The alien said yes.

We enjoyed a nice meal.
