yes, i can

i can’t change a tire. i can’t sew on a button. i can’t make a pie from scratch. i can’t speak spanish. i can’t read a map. i can’t run long distances. actually, i can’t run short distances. i can’t apply eyeliner without looking like a woman of the night. i can’t understand the hype around twilight. i can’t tell the difference between a cheap and an expensive bottle of wine. i can’t turn down a cupcake. i can’t sleep when chris is out of town. i can’t fold the fitted bed sheet. you know, the one with the elastic. but throw a great baby shower?  why, yes i can.
