iv. 'I just want to die'

I realized while I was talking with a friend today

that I say that 'I want to die' a LOT.

To clarify, I don't actually want to die,

it's just that when something is too overwhelmingly amazing,

or cute?

it feels like I'm having a heart attack

or that I'm about to explode

from overexposure to cuteness

and I'd just rather die.

For example: Ah, Meghan,

this baby owl is nuzzling my arm and I just want to die.

In other (more relevant) news,

one of my students, Erica, was sick for weeks

so my 4 year olds made her a card.

It's amazing what they're capable of :)

And to tie all of this nonsense in:

My students are so cute I want to dieeee.
