I don’t like your handwriting.’ <br />The count bowed, bit his lips, shrank away, and vanished."<br /><br />I know this because Marz used to go around quoting this, "I shall throw you out of window. I don’t like your handwriting."<br /><br />Now she says, [she's in my kitchen right now, making oatmeal],<br />"I used to want to throw everyone out the window, but I now I know when you throw everyone out the window, there you go too. <br />Whoever you are, I love your handwriting.<br />Your oatmeal's ready, by the way."Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.com
