Makin' stuff up

When I was a kid, long about August, I was pretty tired of things like swimmin, nappin, and lazin' around. Sometimes I would complain to my Grannie that I was "bored" and she would always say that there was no such thing as bein bored as long as there was a needle and thread in the house. Then  I'd get a lesson in "makin' stuff up". 

 Truth be told, we all have a zillion things we could do...I only get bored when I try to avoid them.
