Why I Should Have Been a Hobbit

Throw in regular naps, and I’m good. I think all of these sound great to me (as long as the garden belongs to someone else and I get to partake in the produce from time to time).

I see Bag End where Bilbo Baggins — and later Frodo Baggins — lived in a comfortable dwelling in a hole in a hill, and that sounds appealing to me. I could have rooms for food, rooms for clothes (mostly t-shirts and Hawaiian shirts). I could have my favorite daily walks all mapped out.

I think I could have been a very good hobbit. I would have been a freakishly tall hobbit, but otherwise I’d have fit in very nicely. Did I mention I’m a fan of potatoes, especially when they’re fried?

My consolation prize will have to be revisiting the Shire and those Hobbits by re-reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings periodically. And perhaps eating more breakfasts and potatoes.
