Gods Gift of Love (Free verse) by mckenzie

Welcome little one, welcome into our lives our world our family. We can not wait to see you to hold you to smell ur sweet scent. We thank god everyday for the precious gift we are about to receive from above. Your father and I love each other so much we made you and we will love you twice as much . We cant wait until we look into those deep blue eyes. See those rosey red cheeks,and those huge dimples, smileing back at us with all the love in the world. Those courious little eyes wondering what journeys lay behind the door or out in the huge world. Those eyes for us to show. Things like what grows what makes noise,to make you laugh to make you grow. Grow big and strong knowing that you are loved and wanted so much in this life. Mommy and Daddy and Big Sissy can not wait for your arrive our precious gift from God.

4. The reference of "you" in "as much as you'd think" isn't fixed, if it means "the average person who has no special knowledge about how often people take off for typos". The amount the average person would think will vary over time. The degree to which spelling is everything will also vary over time, since the moral importance of spelling will change (e.g. if aliens who punish bad spelling take over the world and we have to protect our families with the power to spell properly), but clearly not coincidentally with the average person's opinion of spelling (people might come to think spelling is everything because it saves their lives, or they might come to think spelling is worthless and detestable, because they hate the spelling-loving aliens so much).

Then does "you" mean something else? There don't seem any plausible alternatives. If you meant "as much as I, thepinkbunnyofdoom, would think", then there would be no point in mentioning it, because, since I know nothing about how often you think people take off for typos, you can't convince me that it's an overestimate.

If you meant "you, -=Dark_Angel=-", that would be absurd. Let's call however much *I* would think 'X'. Now obviously I believe in the proposition "'People take off X amount", and nothing could possibly change that, since even if you convinced me that people take off hardly at all, then the value of X - what I believe the amount is - would change to be "hardly at all", and it would still be true to say "People take off X amount", i.e. "People take off hardly at all".

But, even though I necessarily believe in "People take off X amount", what you're trying to convince me of is "People *don't* take off X amount", which is the negation of what I necessarily believe. So the only way you could possibly convince me is if I did an impossible thing (disbelieve what I necessarily believe). Therefore for you to convince me is only possible if it's impossible, which is to say it's impossible, and therefore possible, and therefore impossible. In other words, impossible. In other words, possible.

In other words... IMPOSSIBLE.

QED motherfucker. In other words, check motherfucking mate. In other words, better motherfucking luck next time, motherfucker.

5. "Not as much as you'd think" doesn't even have any of the same words in them as "People take off for typos everywhere".

It's obvious who the person who is right is and who the one who is the one who is wrong is is. You! And me! In that god damn order! WHICH MEANS YOU'RE WRONG. TALK ABOUT GUTTED TO THE MOTHERFUCKING MAX DUDE RADICAL WIIIIIIIPEOUTTT DUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDU

Your dad,
