The green on my jeans

scares everyone else but me.

It will come out soon.

Besides my inner

child says it shows I played

hard and had much fun.

The story behind the piece: I played volleyball this past weekend and ended up with grass stains on my light blue jeans. "That is what washing machines are for," I kept saying to everyone. It was something my mom always said when I was younger when everyone was concerned about the stains on clothes from playing outside. I often feel it is a metaphor of life; enjoy life, even at the risk of getting a little dirty.
