About 6 years ago, a friend suddenly lost her mom. I left work to track her down since she’d driven off and was in a parking lot falling apart. Found her and in the process of comforting her, drew her a little thing because her mom loved Winnie the Pooh and dragonflies.

Like a year later, she texted me this photo.

It’s crazy to me that’s out there now. That’s my handwriting.

Ejected this guy from the hardware store for crimes (being trapped inside and sitting on my product I needed to buy) against humanity (me, specifically)

I'm happy to see so many of these guys around the last few years, even though they're literally always out to cause problems on purpose it seems.

As a response to all the dragonfly suggestions for batter; it looks too silly. 🥲
