ca•price /keprées/ n. /kepríshes/ adj.

1. an unaccountable or whimsical change of mind or conduct.



I stared a long time at the blue one. I walked around the store with it in my hand. When I came back to the shelf again, I thought, the red one was pretty nice too. I thought about how the red one would be nice to see in the mornings and would match the pillows. Okay, red it is. As I approached the counter I imagine me waking up tomorrow and first thing thinking "Shit. Should've got the blue one." Back to the shelf. I decidedly grab the blue one. As I turn away I notice that the red one has a nice sparkle. I have both in my hands. I could get both. Switch them in and out. Red in the evenings, blue in the..well. Blue would be good in the evening too. Just pick one! Christ. It's so hard though. This is taking way too long. I stare and stare. Suddenly I pick up the gold one, march to the register, pay, leave, ride the train home and fall asleep for 12 hours.
