The day I stopped hand-crafting things for my mother

"Does anyone have a scrap piece of paper?"
I want to yell at my mother to use the
Mother's Day notepad I made for her in class.
It's several pieces of assorted colored paper,
hole punched,
tied at the top with yarn.
the back has magnets
for the fridge. It's helpful and pretty.
"Happy Mother's Day!"
It's too pretty to use.
Too pretty to be put on the fridge
"cause, when I'm fryin' bacon, it splatters
and it might mess up your notepad."
No, it's your notepad now.
