Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

So I recently learned that a song that is sung to one of my nephew's to encourage him to pee in a potty has helped at least one other kid do the same, but that a new soon about pooping in the potty was needed. I decided to do a parody of "How Far I'll Go" by Lin-Manuel Miranda and featured in Moana . Enjoy? I've been sitting at the edge of the potty 'Long as I can remember, never really set to try I wish I could do the perfect squatty So I come back to the potty, but time always goes awry Every snack I take, every cheese I mac Every thirst I slake, every meal leads back To the place I know, where I need to go, where I also pee See the room where the poo meets the pee? It calls me And no one knows, my poopy woes If the signs in my paunch and my gut say behind launch Then soon I'll go Once I know, there's just no telling how much I'll know I know everybody in my household uses toilets, in this household Everyone goes on their time I know everybody in...

Time for some family secrets and tensions to be made apparent. Wow Catie is actually showing some interest in the wedding Catie, you do have to help with these things Catie, Josh didn't say that it's your fault that customs called you, he's saying it's your fault that you then didn't communicate that information to him Debby, when has Mido EVER shown interest in you? WAIT. WHAT?! MIDO IS PROPOSING?! Oh dear god. Mido's eyes during this proposal are giving me menacing Also, I would NOT be okay with my partner doing this Mallorie, I think lots of people's ideas of what they'd wear to their wedding changes over the years Mallorie is funny Mallorie does look so pretty Mallorie is talking about not wanting to have kids, yes? I am suspicious of what Ashia really told her family (ah, okay, last minute vacations do seem to be Ashia's norm) I mean, I do think there is a time limit on things for Ashia That said, Ashia and Maxwell shouldn't get married Mari...

Here are some short pieces based on things that have happened in my life recently. Fog It's a foggy morning.  I'm not used to these in the summer--they feel like an autumn creature to me. But that's when I smell it. The opaque air is not an atmospheric mist. It is smoke. Or smog. But no, that distinct scent means that, somewhere, the world is burning. My corner of that world is not burning, but it does have the smoke. And, if my corner does nothing, it too soon shall be aflame. Jump I shivered. A friend once told me that was death jumping over me. And by once, I mean enough times that I remembered it, and now whenever I shiver, I think of her and death passing me by. I wonder where death is galloping off to. I do not wish truly wish death on anyone even though I can acknowledge there are people in this world who do far more harm than good and will continue to draw knives as long as they draw breaths. Yet, I find myself unwilling to direct death to any certain location. Perh...

I saw an online challenge to "ruin a book by adding a word" with the example Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret Thatcher . So I decided to take up the challenge but I also allowed myself to slightly alter one word in the title as well. I started this self-imposed challenge with my "15 book titles destroyed by altering or adding one word" post.
