One day soon we'll be laughing about these days we're living in now.

Hey dude, remember that time we were stuck on the roller coaster ride to hell and knew we'd be destroyed?

Yeah man, that was insane.

Thank god he was locked up that next week!

Good times, pal!

Our kids are going to call "bullshit" when we try to explain what happened.

Unfortunately, I really don’t know what to expect. So I will withhold my expectations of merriment soon. We are in deep do do right now. Hard to see the humor.

Something about how maybe the stuff we're living through right now has already been lived through, and maybe we'll understand that and look back on it and laugh.
