short and stern. :)

ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeletestern as a disease paints a grim picture... brevity is hard.
ReplyDeleteShort and to the point. If said in a cadence it sounds like something a girl would recite while skipping rope. Nice!
ReplyDelete... like Other Mary says ~~ pencil point sharp! Ouch.
ReplyDeleteDefiance rings loud and clear here!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You certainly got your point across. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat Lolamouse said! But, I thought we met on Wednesdays . . .
