Bones is a beautiful
bag of bones.  

There’s no question about it.  

All his bones
are just the right size,
and in just the right place—
right from his head to his toes.

Bones knows that,
and he’s not the least bit
bashful about it.  

He’s seen himself
in the mirror.

It’s a curse.  

Boys are supposed to be
handsome, not beautiful.  

Bobby

beauty is
in the eye
of the beholder

Thanks dear Helen,

I know that to be true.  I could never understand my Father-in-law’s view of feminine beauty, and he could never understand mine.

I was always considered handsome.

Love Bobby
