When Daddy walks along the street
And hurries home to me,

He acts quite diff’rently,
And takes the slowest, shortest ones
To keep in step with me.

For months now I would ask Simeon to fix or change something on my site and he would mumble something incoherent in response. Needless to say, it’s been awhile since we did, well, anything. So we are both […]

Her Latest Skill
