One night after dinner
My mom gave the orders
For me and my sister
To go to the border
What border we asked
She did not reply
My dad sat there quietly
And didn’t ask why
Mom simply stated
“Put your dishes in the washer,
And your sister, too.”
But to us this was a shocker
We looked at each other
And then at our dad
He was laughing hysterically
Gone completely mad!
He mocked my mother
And pictured in his mind
Me in the dishwasher!
Boy I was in a bind
So down at the border
Of who knows where
My family was determined
To get me there
Where you ask?
Oh you must not have forgotten
The dishwasher of course!
Isn’t that rotten?

btw this is based on a true experience...although they did NOT try to even fit me into the dishwasher

This was a bit different haha....
Weird, but nice.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
