I know! It's kinda like entering an elevator the night after your had bean burritos or cheese enchilladas and it gets stuck. You just hope that you are alone or there are at least two other people in there with you and they are strangers and that it all comes out silently. That way you can look just as disgusted as the other two and if y'all end up talking you can deny it unless someone says, "That smelled like a wet one so let's check each other's drawers."
Not that any of that had happened to me. I'm just saying.

I like this SIS.. Sort of mystery.
Good Morning Sis! How are you? I written several time to see about you. Just wanted to let you know you been on my mind many times lately. This was an interesting write here I like it alot... Good choice of words... Hope you are dealing with your loss honey. I know how you feel. I lost my baby girl about this time in 1978. I had cancer of the womb but that not why I lost her... Mother in law was the reason... Oh well. Let my native grandmother always said... God only take those he need and this was one of the reason god need her. to teach the other why to expect when he let others mothers have childrens. Tonight I watch this show call nanny911
Boy those kids are horrible. do they really do all that yelling and hitting and kicking and shoveling mom and daddy away and cuss words I never even heard my kids say. I guess Some of us are bless when we raise our kids. lolsss. That poor nanny had her work cut out for her. Did I tell you I'm going to be a great grandma again. third one... here Im 60 yrs old and already great grandma three times.
I love you and Miss you Kiddo.. ditto

I don't know why poet, but it seems a universal question. I think you said a great deal more than you should be able to in three lines. Very clever!
