Kitty NipplesLa la la, I wrap up my projects for my clients during the day.
La la la.

La la la, I put together furniture and dust it.
La la la.

La la la, I give away the things that don’t define me anymore.
La la la.

We could keep doing this for a month.
We could keep doing this for a day.

We wait with one hand on the increasing contractions and one eye on the clock.
We wait while practicing our breathing.

When the time has come, you’ll be the first to know.
When it’s time, we can’t wait to tell you.
