Birthday Ice Cream Play

More From Amy Poehler

I actually think the same things do make most people happy. the differences are extremely small, and around the margins. you like peach ice cream; i like strawberry ice cream. both of us like ice cream much better than a smack on the head with two-by-four.

Yes, if you want to say that i was a drum major, say that i was a drum major for justice. say that i was a drum major for peace. i was a drum major for righteousness. and all of the other shallow things will not matter. i won't have any money to leave behind. i won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. but i just want to leave a committed life behind. and that's all i want to say.

Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no one's ever eaten before? like chicken and telepone ice cream? green mouse ice cream was the worst. i didn't like that at all.

Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

A typical irish dinner would be: cream flavored with lobster, cream with bits of veal in it, green peas and cream, cream cheese, cream flavored with strawberries.

My mother was given to a typical question: "we have always done this. why should we do anything else?" but my wife's typical question was "we have always done this. why don't we do it another way or, better still, why not do something else?"

The achilles heel of the americas was the lack of cultural confidence typical of new settlers.

The typical american believes that no necessity of the soul is free and that there are precious few, if any, which cannot be bought.
