There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven and she's Daddy's little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all for..

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy but I sure tried"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen today
And she's lookin' like her mamma a little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and make-up, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you Daddy
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Oh the precious times
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today
and she'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
And she leaned over...and gave me...

Butterfly kisses with her mamma there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy? Daddy don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a her love every morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more
Man, this is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses

For Ali. I couldn't bear her not having the full text to judge.

Okay. So the lyrics lean a little towards the God side. But I still don't get what's so wrong. Are you guys eww-ing the idea of butterfly kisses? Because I used to adore those when I was little. They used to crack me up like nothing else. And what we called butterfly kisses at my house was putting your face really close to the other person's cheek (or sometimes my mom would do it to my neck, if I left it vulnerable, since I'm way ticklish there), and blinking your eyes, so that the lashes would tickle the skin. It was barely even touching-- it required much less contact than a regular kiss, if that's what's bothering you people. I don't understand what is so gross.

In other news, it's already been an eventful day, and it's not over yet:

So today, the bad: I have had to deal with the creepy creepy rat issue (this one gets many bad points). I broke my shoe. I went to my piano class, and have decided that I must be doing something wrong, since apparently it shouldn't hurt to play-- or so I've been told. I burned my finger on a skillet (No, that's not what hurt when I was playing piano). I broke a pair of earrings that I really, really liked-- and which are still very new. And my key got so stuck in our stupid semi-broken gate that I was outside trying to release it for ten minutes-- and it was a passerby who finally managed to get it free.

The good: because of the horribly creepy rat, I didn't stay at work for very long. I went to Payless and bought some super comfy (cheap!) Mary Jane-like shoes. My second class of the day must have been cancelled, since no one showed up during the first twenty minutes besides me and two other classmates, so I got to go home way early. Also, this morning, when I took a shower, I had hot water! Which was very exciting. Also, I have cheesecake in my possession.

Other things I have to do today:

• Apply for a loan.
  
• Apply for an internship.
  
• Laundry.
  
• Answer a bunch of emails.
  
• Make some phone calls.
  
• Write.
  
• Watch either Veronica Mars or TAR.

Only one of those things on my to-do list looks exciting. Does anyone want to take care of the things that don't involve watching TV?
