Knowing

An infant knows its mother by scent and breath a mother knows her twins they only fool themselves God knows us by the color of our souls, every shade, dent and chip -- No one knows us better than the IRS!

No secrets from the Government -- they just let us think we have. Also keeps us safe. Blessings my friend.
