Is it?

It is what it is:

I can't wait for the day that it isn't what it is. Take for instance this scenario.

EXT. ROAD - DAY

STEVE is driving down the road. His ten year old son, ZACHARY, is sitting in the passenger seat.

ZACHARY

Look out dad! There's a log in the road.

There's a huge log blocking the road.

STEVE

How about that. Good looking out buddy.

 

Steve stops the car.

ZACHARY

How did that log get there?

STEVE

I'm not too sure kiddo. But...it is what it is. Sometimes life puts a log in your way. You stay right here. I'm going to move it.

Steve gets out of the car and walks up to the log. He grabs a hold of the log. Suddenly the "log" starts moving. Ut oh, it's not a log. It's actually a crocodile camouflaged with branches and leaves. Then the crocodile grabs a hold of Steve's arm.

STEVE (SCREAMING)

Oh my God! Zachary! I'm sorry! I was so wrong! It's not a log! It isn't always what it is, well, what you thought it was anyway! Looks can be deceiving! Remember that...forever!

The crocodile proceeds to eat Steve alive. Zachary shakes his head with disappointment. He learned a very good lesson that day. He had trust issues for the rest of his life and had a phobia of crocodiles, alligators, and pretty much any large, scaly creature.
