I'd never hear the end of it I like

Kelly and I didn't care who knew it she

decides she taught me something that

all Kelly Bassets I never saw her again

but 10 years later I picked up a

newspaper and saw that Kelly Bassett

have been named Miss Minnesota through

three continents it kids don't have any

idea what pain is

you know even though my dad complained

all the time and he thought he knew

everything and he thought he was always

right and I never cut the grass right I

miss him so if your dad's around I want

you to go over there and give him a big

hug I know he doesn't like it but do it
