Things That Make You Want to Crawl Back Into Bed, Vol. 1

Today on a walk with my dog, I came across a sidewalk chalk drawing of two stick figures. One of them was yellow and smiling. The other one was blue with its eyes x-ed out. Above the first was written, “Mr. Fag, alive.” Above the second was written, “smooshed.” Both the writing and drawing style were obviously that of a young child, not a teenager.
Some days, you just want to crawl back into bed and snuggle with your dog, who cares not at all what race, gender, orientation, size, or age you are as long as you will scratch his ears and give him treats.
