blown away

I came home late tonight from rehearsal and found this on my dresser:
bassies-wave-poem.jpg And while I usually at least make a attempt to seem subtle about touting my daughters’ brilliance by way of irony or humorous anecdote, there’s no way to sugar coat this one: this poem is freaking amazing. I assume you can decipher the “creative spelling”. If not, you have no soul.

    People seem to be missing the point here – is your dresser made of glass? How do you keep your unmentionables unmentioned?
