The Cheese That Ate Wednesday

🧀 “The Cheese That Ate Wednesday”
An absurd tale of dairy, deadlines, and destiny.

🌀 Introduction:

What do you get when you mix an overworked librarian, a sentient wheel of cheese, and a broken calendar?
Apparently, a hole in the space-time continuum and one very confused platypus.
Let’s dive in.

📚 Story:

Mildred Featherbottom had one job: organize the Library of Things Not Meant to Exist.
It was a quiet place tucked between a haunted JCPenney and a dimension where socks ruled the economy.

On an unusually humid Tuesday, Mildred stumbled upon a cheese wheel labeled “WEDNESDAY – DO NOT CONSUME.”
Being lactose-intolerant and rebellious, she naturally took a bite.

The room hiccuped.

The ceiling whispered “tsk tsk.”

And then—POOF!—Wednesday was gone.

Not “delayed.” Not “skipped.”
Eaten.

The sun rose on Tuesday, set on Thursday, and everyone forgot how to pronounce “Wednesday.”
(Attempts included “Wobbleday,” “Wednesdoom,” and “The Silent Day.”)

Mildred, now existing slightly sideways in time, teamed up with Douglas, a time-traveling platypus with a monocle and a fear of cheddar.
Their mission? Find Wednesday and apologize very sincerely.

After battling calendar pirates and debating a Gregorian goat, they reached the Temporal Fridge of Forgotten Days.

There, in a sticky corner, sat Wednesday.
Chewed, but salvageable.

“I just wanted a snack!” Mildred sobbed.

“Next time, try a banana,” Wednesday replied, reattaching itself to the space-time menu.

The world hiccuped again.
Everything was back.
Except now, everyone spoke with a faint French accent on Wednesdays.

🧁 Recipe (Metaphorical):

To avoid devouring a day of the week:

• 1 cup curiosity
• 2 tablespoons restraint
• A dash of calendar awareness
• NEVER nibble on temporal dairy

🌱 Nugget of Wisdom:

Just because something exists doesn’t mean it’s meant to be tasted.
Some things are best left unread, uneaten, or unpoked—especially if they have a warning label.

📣 Call to Action:

Ever accidentally eaten a cosmic artifact?
Drop your weirdest “oops” moment in the comments and tag a friend who definitely would eat forbidden cheese. 🧀👇

🧀 What Is Lactose Intolerance?

A fun, quirky explanation of lactose intolerance

Perfect for a classroom, social media post, or just satisfying your curiosity!

Imagine your stomach is a party. 🎉
Milk shows up wearing a lactose name tag. 🥛
To get into the party, lactose needs a special VIP pass: lactase, an enzyme that helps break it down.

But uh-oh…
In lactose-intolerant people, the bouncer (lactase) is either missing, lazy, or straight-up quit the job years ago.

Result?
Lactose crashes the party, uninvited, and causes chaos in your gut nightclub. 💃🕺

💥 Consequences of This Dairy Drama:

1. Gas – The lactose throws a fizzy rave in your intestines.
2. Bloating – Your belly becomes an overinflated balloon animal.
3. Cramps – Your gut forms a boy band called The Tummy Twisters.
4. Bathroom emergencies – Lactose ghosts the party… but not quietly.

🧫 The Science-y Bit (Still Fun!):

Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy.
Lactase is an enzyme your small intestine makes to break lactose into smaller sugars your body can absorb.

If you don’t have enough lactase?
That sugar ferments in your gut, like an open jug of medieval mead… and your digestive system hosts the worst concert ever.

🐄 Plot Twist: Not an Allergy!

Lactose intolerance isn’t a milk allergy.
Milk allergy is your immune system freaking out.
Lactose intolerance is just your gut saying:
“Yeah, no thanks. I’d rather not digest that.”

🍦 What Can You Do?

• Try lactose-free dairy! (Still creamy, less scream-y)
• Use lactase pills (Bring your own bouncer!)
• Enjoy dairy-free alternatives: almond, oat, soy, etc.
• Befriend cheese wisely—aged cheese has less lactose
• And maybe… don’t eat cosmic cheese labeled DO NOT CONSUME. 👀

💡Nugget of Wisdom:

Listen to your gut. It might not be poetic, but it sure is honest. 🌀

Dairy, why you gotta hurt me?

Song and lyrics

INTRO [spoken, over soft piano]

“We were so good together…
Until you turned my stomach into a war zone.”

Record scratch. Beat drops.

VERSE 1
I saw you in the fridge, glowing like a dream,
A gallon of whole milk with that silky sheen.
I poured you in my cereal, life felt so right—
But three minutes later… I was taking flight. 

(Straight to the bathroom.)

CHORUS
Daaaairy, why you gotta hurt me like that?
One sip of love, now I’m curled on the mat.
I trusted you with my cereal soul,
Now I’m lactose crying in a toilet bowl. 
DAIRY! (ugh!)
We need to take a break…

VERSE 2
Cheddar used to whisper sweet things in my ear,
Now even mac ‘n’ cheese fills me with fear.
I tried to move on with almond and oat,
But I still miss your creamy love in my coat.

(Why is butter in everything?!)

CHORUS [repeat]
Daaaairy, why you gotta hurt me like that?
Every latte love ends with GI combat.
You promised me joy, now I’m running to go,
Like my intestines just hit turbo mode.
DAIRY!
It’s not you, it’s… enzymes.

BRIDGE [emotional, dramatic key change]
I bought the pills, I read the labels,
I tried cheese substitutes at every table…
But deep in my gut, I know it’s true:
I can’t digest the thought of you. 

OUTRO [soft, whisper-sung]
So here’s my toast with jam, no butter tonight,
I’ll raise a glass of oat and be all right.
I’ll remember you fondly, creamy delight…
From a safe, dairy-free distance…
Goodnight.
