Sunday Lunch, Alf and UFO

It is Sunday, June 26, 2016.

And I believe I am on this land called earth…trying to be the best human being that I can be. And if UFO is flying somewhere….I don’t know…up there,

and trying to come to our land what should we do?

And who they are? Can you imagine them? …I like to imagine them like a smart-mouthed creature who come to be with us

and help us become better people. So,as I am thinking somebody is knocking on my door.

Who is it? – I am asking.

Alf.

Who?

Alf? Do you remember me?

Sorry, I don’t. Who are you?

I am from that show “Alf”? How can you forget me? You used to watch me. And laugh… I hate humans, they don’t know how to be loyal.

How can I help you?-I ask.

I am hungry! And I know you have new blog and I want to taste your food.

You know I have a new blog? Now I am interested… Alf, how do you know I have new blog?

Well, Christopher Columbus told me. He said: You are pretty interesting person? You just don’t belong to people….

And he loves your blog about him Discover Life-Christopher Columbus

So, can you open the door? I want to see your eyes and talk to you…And let me be honest, I really want to eat …

I am still hesitant when Alf yells: “I can even promote your blog…for FREE?”

You can..really? – I am yelling now.  Having my blog promoted at the planet of Melmac can’t hurt.

After all I am just another human being who wants to go to new places and planets…

Alf can help.

And I like to share.

As I am opening the door my childhood of imagination is looking into me and laughing:

“Hello, Martha Stewart. What is for lunch?”

I am speechless just for a moment …or maybe two and as I am looking into Alf eyes I am saying:

“Let me show you..”
