Too much of a good thing?
In response to the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/clone-wars/
If you could clone yourself, how would you split up your responsibilities?
It’s one of those questions again: “If you could X, blah, blah, blah”. I think I mentioned before I don’t answer these kinds of questions. Especially when the “If” part is something that can never happen. Oh, stop with the “but use your imagination”. Even if cloning people were to happen in my lifetime, I will never be rich enough to be cloned, because, let’s face it, it will cost big bucks to duplicate yourself.
Ok, I admit that I’m probably being too literal for the intent of the prompt. The point is probably to see what things I have to do every day that I would prefer to delegate to a mere copy. Like cleaning litter boxes and ironing. But one does need to be careful. Resentful clones all over the world are likely to rise up and take over. Yes. This prompt is both annoying and terrifying at the same time.
I do know one thing – my clone would not be the one chosen to eat this delicious beer “can” chicken from last night (sorry to all vegetarian followers…)

Hope that’s an organically-raised chicken, Em ! 😀
Well, I was going to buy an organic bird, but the regular ones were all on sale, so price won out yesterday I am ashamed to say…
I just this moment referred Mary-Jean to your site; and if you visit hers, you might see why. [grin]
Oh, I already follow Mary J Melange! And now to check all the other blogs you have listed to see who else I will stalk, er, follow…
Much less trouble for me than the “M-R’s Challenge” posts on the other blog … 🙂
Beer can chicken…Mmmmmm! Hey, you can make your clone take out the garbage and clean the toilet and still allow her to go out on the town every so often. It would make for a happier clone without threat of an uprising. 😉
Yeah – I forgot about cleaning the toilet. Might be worth an eventual uprising just so I don’t have to do that anymore!
