Life as a Shrunken Head

I wonder what life would be like as a shrunken head. I mean of course you would still be alive, because otherwise this post would just be pointless. I figure that I’d end up as some mirror ornament in someone’s car. Swinging from a string, twirling around in circles. Completely lost because I can’t stay still long enough to figure out where we are.

I think it would be cool to talk to the driver too. Point out the obvious, like he missed his turn or he’s lost again. Maybe make fun of him or the music he listens to. I mean what could he possibly do to me…I’m already a shrunken head?

Of course there’s drawbacks. Like being bored for long periods of time. Or even the occasional sunburn on only one side of your head. And of course the obvious of banging your head repeatedly on the windshield every day. I suppose people really wouldn’t take you seriously as a shrunken head either. This could lead to awkward situations of having to endure gross or agonizing moments when you are alone with someone in the car.

But seriously…what would you do if you were a shrunken head?
