make lemonade

everybody (almost) tells you that when life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade. but some of these people leave the sugar out of the lemonade, making a bitter, sour mixture that nobody wants to drink. they just wasted a perfectly good pitcher full of water. remember when you were a little kid and you sucked on lemons cuz you thought you were tough? i'll bet you didn't like lemons more than lemonade, but you ate them anyway. people use their lemon juice as an excuse to have a crappy life. "oh, i would have made better lemonade, but all i had was lemons, no sugar. so i'll just be a saint and be content with what's given me. go feel sorry for me and compliment me and give me sugar!"
others will leave the lemons on the counter, hidden behind the bowl full of apples, bananas, and kiwis. they let them rot, and are proud of themselves for being able to overcome their lemon. maybe if you have a neat freak of a room mate, they'll even clean up the lemon for you. but you're wasting your lemon! you could make lemonade out of that, but instead you leave it, because it looks sour and icky and you're too stupid to squeeze it and add some sugar.
then again, you don't have to make lemonade. if you don't like lemonade, don't make it. make lemon bars. lemon mereingue pie. lemon flavored skittles!

use it well
the way you want to
