the most awful horrible thing i've ever

done in my whole life

you know what don't tell us we'll just

wake up changer gets home because it'll

be more fun that way all right

okay

it was like four years ago okay ginger

and i had gone out a few times and then

this one weekend we went up to her dad's

cabin just me her and her annoying

little dog pepper

well that night i cooked this really

romantic dinner you gave her food

poisoning

i wish

after dinner me her and pepper all fell

asleep in front of the fire well i woke

up in the middle of the night and i saw

that the fire was dying out so

i picked up a log and threw it on

or at least what i thought was a log oh

my god you threw pepper on the fire

i wish

see i guess another thing i probably

that she kind of has a uh

threw her leg on the fire
