i live on Lesterford Street it's not that i didn't consider other places too bad I'm eight years old and don't know cursive i wouldn't know how to sign a rental agreement i have sixteen pennies in my piggy bank too few for a down payment and too few for McDonalds so the only choice is Cafe Lesterford where the rule is don't bite the hand that feeds you even if it the hand feeds you off a knife i will wait it out when i find myself thinking, i have to do it it is time to ask why would i want to lick dinner off knives again
