Chinese Translation


I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
beneath a weeping willow tree
He said, “Now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet,
but my time here is brief
so you’ll have to pick just three.”

And I said,
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
And how can a man like me remain in the light…
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long?
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song…

Repellent

Ryan Christen After much thought over the perfect Christmas gift for my sister, I finally landed on the perfect one: boyfriend repellent. Now I just need somebody to wrap my industrial-sized self up!

Jenny M Christen

you could only be talking about HBC — i don’t have a boyfriend to repel, and kacy’s married to einstein. maybe you should wrap pork and beans in the box, too!


Ryan Christen

yes, i am, but boyfriends are like mosquitoes. eventually you will need the repellent. fortunately, i’m the gift that keeps on giving.


*HBC is my younger sister that is never boyfriendless and always sassy.

**Pork and Beans are my brother’s turtles.

***Regardless of being “the gift that keeps on giving,” I’m not sure I want my brother further scaring away boys from me.

****It’s the thought that counts.
