The Mysterious Cotton Ball Bag

So i have this bag of cotton balls i bought waaaay back when, i don't even remember. When i finally moved into my apartment, i kept this bag of cotton underneath my sink in the bathroom, taking one out to use everyday. On occasion, 2 or 3 would be taken out a day. It's been a while now, and i'm still reaching in the bag everyday to pull out a cotton ball. Since the cabinet underneath my sink is pretty cluttered, the end half of this mysterious bag is always jammed under something, a box, a bar of soap, the toiletry bag, etc etc, so i can never see how much i have left. But i just ignore all that and continue to reach in the bag everyday to pull out a cotton ball. And i keep wondering, when am i going to run out?

That's when i realized(!). This is a magical bag of cotton balls. As long as i don't see the bottom of the bag, the bag will continue to produce cotton balls for me. So i continue to leave the junk piled up on the bottom half of the bag so i never see how many i have left, and as long as i keep it that way, i'll always be able to reach my hand in there and pull out a cotton ball. It's like a silent agreement between me and my magical bag of cotton balls.

Because really, i think there should only be 100 in there. And if my math skills are still up to par.....let's see,

(one cotton ball everyday) x (the number of days since august-when i moved)
= ~180
+ a few more for the days i've had this magical bag before my move
= ~200!!
- 100 (the amount that should be in the bag)
= 100 extra cotton balls!

Now, i am not complaining. I am merely informing my readers of this magical bag of cotton i have in my possession. Are you jealous yet? I mean, cotton balls up the wazoo! What could be better than that?

(other than a magical bag of chocolate (!!!))

But i'm happy with my cotton balls, and i hope they keep coming!
