My Cousin

When my cousin walks through the door...

I feel like God is bringing lollipops that taste like ice cream.

Top five things about my cousin:

1) The wild smile.
2) The way he smells.
3) The way he snores, zzzzzzz.
4) The way he takes care of me.
5) The way he giggles.

Together we converse in Polish,
Play cards,
Play on the computer.

When he leaves I feel like God is leaving
and abolishing the lollipops.
