a kid at work was like "look at my stuffed animal!!" and i was like "ooooo" bc i love soft things n then she was like "would you like to hold it?" n i was like "BOY WOULD I!!" n then she was like "but he's been injured so i put a band-aid on him" n i was like "oh does he need to be sewn up?" expecting this child to have been like me n just put band-aids on her stuffed animals For Funsoes but then she was like "yeah :(" and showed me the hole n i was like "oh my god. would you like me to fix him up?" n so anyway i have now fixed up the giant gaping hole in her stuffed sloth hehe c:

#i hope to god the knot i made holds bc i'm worried it wasn't sturdy enough... #but i love love love to repair holes in things bc then i can do blind stitches n watching those close up is always so magical #it was one of those stuffed animals with the long fur so i had to cut a little bit away to get the band-aid off but the kid was cool w/it #and now i'm sitting in an office w a single kid bc he wants to read his book quietly. so true of him #the worm speaks #anyway it's also kinda funny bc i biked to work like 'god i hope they have things to maintain. i wanna do maintenance. i crave handicraft' #i just!!! really love handicraft!!! the act of creation!!!! and also doing detailed maintenance work!!!!! #the other day at work i wrote a poem w a kid but they had to go halfway so i finished it myself #all the kids but one were gone but my coworker made me banish my wip from the whiteboard bc it was riffing on a poem the kids #were just kinda repeating ad nauseum all day i guess so i finished it on a bit of paper #since all the kids were gone i started leaning into dark comedy n in the final line i rhymed twenty with 'cunty' so. LMAO #can't be sharing that one with the kids!! c':
