Ewwww what?! Yikes is right.
I was just quoting Ani Difranco lyrics, the first verse is - I am not a pretty girl / That is not what I do / I ain't no damsel in distress / And I don't need to be rescued / So put me down, punk / Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? / Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
But now I'm imagining baby Marie reciting the last verse from her tree perch at her creepy step-creep - What if there are no damsels in distress? / What if I knew that, and I called your bluff? / Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down / Whether or not you ever show up?
