peppermint patty

let's pretend that none
of this every happened,
okay. let's just roll
back that old clock
on the wall and imagine
that i never threw that
peppermint patty across
the room and struck you
in the forehead, causing
a two inch gash. who
knew that the foil and
frozen chocolate could
cause such damage. but
let's put all of that
behind us, okay. the
stitches won't be in
that long, and the welt
will subside over time.
come here and hug me,
sweetie pie. i promise
to never throw a pepper
mint patty at you again.
no need to make a big
fuss over a little bitty
accident.
