Look Upon My Swatter, Ye Insects, And Despair!
Last night was an important night. A watershed moment in my life’s story. A hero’s journey. Monumental. Epic. You see, last night I became something greater than myself through the transformative power of the toddler mind.

I wish it wasn’t. I wish I could grab a Magic Eraser and Mr. Clean the stain of those wasted years away, but I can’t.
