Smelly Cat...For Megan

Watch Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music
             as much as you possibly can
When you are 16, sneak out with a friend....
            .....and get in your car....
            .....but go no further than your own driveway.
            Blast your favorite song and sing at the top of your lungs.
            Sneak back inside through the dark, and giggle till you fall asleep.
Read books.
           Lots of books.
Have tea parties at wrestling meets.
          Under the table...
          ....and spill water everywhere.
Float down the St. Clair River on a hot summer day
Eat Breakfast at Margaret Jeans
Go skinny dipping....
         ....but don't lose your bathingsuit!
Get a penpal...
        ....send her prizes in the mail.
Crush on a wrestler...
Get a tattoo.
Play hide-and-go-seek-in-the dark
       ......at Aunt Theresa's.......
       ......and hide in the basement corner cupboard...
       ......every single time.
Embrace on warm summer nights
Float
Dance before you walk down the aisle
Go to Ireland...
        ......view the countryside.....
        ......stop in each pub.
Call a friend--
       ---no matter the time of day or night---
       ---every single time you hear Journey.
Wear flowers in your hair
Play dress up....
       ....even when you're a grown up.
Make people laugh.
Live.
Love.
Laugh.
