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.
