This is important. This means something.


This is a picture of my sister, Angelyn's Arm. She lives in a beautiful, mountainous town in Colorado. Well, one day she was cutting down the Aspen trees that were growing too numerous next to her house. She reached into the Aforementioned Aspen trees to chop and was scratched in the process. She pulled her Arm out to survey the damage the Aspen tree branches had done to her Arm. And on her Arm, she saw this perfect A carved into her skin.

It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Every time I saw Angie's perfect A carved in her Arm from the Aspen trees, I pretty much died from laughter. She even measured it (using the admittedly imperfect instrument of fingers), and it was exactly the same distance from her wrist to her elbow. Awesome!! As Richard Dreyfuss (and Weird Al) would say, "This is important. This means something."

It became a fun joke at our latest family reunion. We developed this joke into, "Yes, your A carved into your skin by trees is quite remarkable. But, what if you pulled out your arm and saw Angelyn carved in cursive? Now that would be something!"
