Wow! Is this Butt Soft or What?!

Wow! Is this Butt Soft or What?!


That’s what I thought as I got out of the bathtub last night with my newest topic.

When I was a little girl (ha!), underneath that big tree Christmas morning was a present for me that has, unfortunately, had a small part in defining who I am. Inside the red and green wrapping was a gadget for me called a Knit Wit.

I learned fairly quickly how to use it and made flower after flower with it, until I became bored and set it aside. During the separation, and unbeknownst to me, my sister picked it up and decided to take it to the next level.  She used it to fashion together a poodle. I wasn’t too pleased though when I found it sitting all alone. Going back to my statement about this present revealing something about who I am, I’m now at a point where I can explain that. I ripped that little poodle to a pile of yarn shreds, thinking she could not outdo me like that. This is MY gadget. How dare her!

Truth is I don’t remember tearing up that poodle, but she said I did and I believe her. It could’ve been one of my brothers. But, either way, it helped to define me.

Ever since then, I cannot and will not be outdone. But no way in hot furnaces could I ever outdo my sister. She is gifted and creative and I gladly take back seat to her.

Back to my title…”Wow! Is this Butt Soft or What?!” It’s what happens when you sit out your life and wait for something good to happen.
