Block 32

* * * You Didn't Cook * * *

She didn't cook what?
Why didn't she cook?

I'll bet
you thought 
one of those questions
when you saw Block #32.

Neither one 
is answered.

This block
is for the blessing
'of having a dad
with a warped 
sense of humor.

From the time I can remember,
Dad always said to me,
"We need to send you back.
You Didn't Cook Long Enough."

That was always 
the phrase that came out
when I was being either
silly
or 
goofy. 
"You Didn't Cook Long Enough."
 Dear Lord,
Thank you for this blessing of a father who made me laugh. He didn't say much, but he sure came up with some goodies. 

Whether you let me cook long enough or not . . . you let Dr. Hillis remove me from the "oven" into a family that made growing up  warm, safe and special. Thank you  so much for this. I know some aren't blessed with this luck, like I was.

Amen.

You didn't cook long enough! LOL

Your dad must have a great one! So lucky!

So does that mean you're half baked? ;0)

:^D Wish I'd though of that one. Your dad sounds like he was fun. That sure beats "Children should be seen, not heard," which my dad often said. (Though now that I've been a parent, I really do understand why he said it!)

Paula - sounds like you were cooked to perfection. I had a quiet dad, too... maybe it was the times. Dads are much more involved these days. Great square! ~Donna
