Graduation Presents

Well.. I'm sitting here damaging the egos of the macho-looking boxes of Cheer laundry detergent with ribbon and frills. And I have been for the better part of the afternoon. And of course, Amber likes to come in and check on me, and tell me what's on her mind. She comes in, Examines the boxes of laundry detergent, and their school-color-coordinated ribbons, telling me which one each of them is for.

"These are for Darcy and Val." she told me pointing to the two boxes with the blue and gold ribbons.
I nodded.
"And these are Mattie and De..lissa?" Pointing to the two wrapped in red and white. (Dollar General didn't have maroon ribbon.)
"Yep," I said, focusing on tying the tiny knot around the roll of quarters.
" And the two for Childress are Reid and.. who's the other one?"
"Cheese." Still working on the knot.
"CHEESE?! What kinduva name is that?! Is that Trey's kid?" She's new to the whole nickname thing, I'm guessing.
"Taylor? Yeah. "
"Cheese..." Amber says testing the name."Well.. It fits. Cuz' he looks like cheese. Like a triangle of cheese. A Cheesehead." She then exits the room, and I have to start over on my knot about 30 seconds later for a laughter break.

And.. I still haven't finished feminizing the Cheer boxes. I have two rolls of quarters left to girlify, and 6 rolls of ribbon cause all sorts of destruction and mayhem with. Muahaha.

And I'll eventually say something about what happened this morning at 3AM.
