Tissues

I’m a cautious driver. I buckle her in and look both ways and stick to the speed limit. Still, lipopigments build up in her body’s tissues. I do alright in the kitchen. I make decent, well-balanced meals, and I feed her local and organic when I can. Still, lipopigments build up in her body’s tissues. I am a teacher. I know that reading and signing and talking and singing are important, and I do those things routinely. Still, lipopigments build up in her body’s tissues.

I am not a neuroscientist. Or a gifted researcher. I am not a magician or a miracle worker. Even if I were a wrestler, I couldn't take them down. No matter what I do, lipopigments build up in her body's tissues.

All this makes me think I'd better buy stock in boxes of tissues...
