Love Has to do with Babies

by Daniel Gallik


 

She said xo and the old man

didn't know what that meant.

So, he ate the idea and did

not say a word. Later, he

kissed her and admitted it.

She left him. The old man

 

thought. This is what I get

for being honest? But deep

down he knew it had more to

do with how ugly he was. &

a lack of money and honesty.

Later that yr. she wrote to

 

him, Larry, thanks for being

so sweet and honest. I am

with a teen who lives in Auk-

land and he lies to me all

the time. We will speak our

vows before you receive this.
