It’s possible this was written as a rap.

Whatever it is, I found it folded up and drifting around my kitchen, as I find many odd bits of flotsam and jetsam in this house.

I read it out loud, and found myself giggling. I particularly enjoyed the garbeldy-gook at the end. The Maker is ineffable, buoyant, inexplicable. Oh, and he likes pie; don’t try to convince him otherwise.

Here’s the translation, as it’s hard to read in the photo:

Hi, my name is Seth and I like pie, So you can’t

deny it so just stop trying to make me not like pie

because it is impossible for me to not like pie

cause pie is my life

I located further evidence of the claim in the driveway. In case there were any doubt.

The Dark Road to… Darkness.

Beware children! See how easy it is to slip from an ordinary good boyhood into shudder-inducing nightmarish-ness. Nightmarish-osity. Something dark that involves hissing and a small amount of drool, anyway. I was surfing through some of my recent pictures and came across these two from earlier this year — taken on demand from the Maker, [...]

The First: It’s the middle of December and it’s dead warm. Me: It’s mad dead warm. The Husband: It’s mad dead G* warm. Me: It’s mad dead G beast crazy sick warm. (prolonged stunned silence) Me: Go on with my bad self! The First: Don’t ever. Do that again. *for the uninitiated, “G” is short [...]

The Smell of the Very Last Baby

When the last of my baby boys grew out of his infant clothes I passed all of the marvelous tiny baby things I’d accumulated to another friend who needed them. Almost all. One of the Maker’s tee shirts (also worn by his older brothers when they were newborns) I folded carefully — unwashed — into [...]

Dorm Room Archaeology: 1984

I uncovered two pictures from my college years, possibly the only two that were ever taken during that period, and boy did they bring back memories. Omg! We had a vaccuum cleaner! I’m pretty sure that belonged to my roomate Lee Ann. She ironed her jeans, for heaven’s sake. So that’s me in my mother’s [...]

My recent post about Why Your Workout Isn’t Working prompted a funny chain of comments on Facebook, which I totally enjoyed. Most of them related bad food favorites, and McDonald’s was named in the very first comment (Hi, Greg!). Sigh. I love MickeyD’s french fries more than any other fast food french fries. And back [...]

An 80′s Video Game Salute

I grew up in the 80’s. Wait, maybe “grew up” is too judgmental, but I did live in the 80’s. We didn’t have an Atari 2600 because we didn’t have a television. But we had a computer, so I got started with a Commodore 64 game system. The 64 stood for kilobytes, baby. We had [...]

It was hot as hell on August 17th, 1977, the day I accidentally saw Elvis dead. It was the year that Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind hit movie theaters like a neutron bomb, the year that Rocky won an Academy Award for best picture.  I had my first kiss that year [...]

The Ice’s Cat Gene

July 4, 2009

The Ice’s Cat Gene from Lisa Creech Bledsoe on Vimeo. This is one of our family’s favorite stories about The Ice. We’ve told it so many times that now he tells it. I added a little bit here, and also let Henry the cat have his say. Oh, and it’s actually true that he said [...]
