The Last

by the Replacements

*

Does it hurt to fall in love so easy?
Does it hurt to fall in love so fast?
Does it hurt you to find out
Thirty-second hand?
Is it such a big task
Such a big task
Are you too proud to ask
Remember last one was your last

It's too early to run to momma
It's too late to run like hell
I guess I would tell ya
Cause it don't work to ask
That this one be your last
And this one child is killing you
This one's your last chance
To make this last one really the last

Oh are you too proud to ask
Is it such a big task
Remember last one was your last

The next one's always
Gonna last for always
The next one's always on me

Would it help to fall in love a little slower
I know it hurts at any speed
So you have another drink
And get down on your knees
You been swearing to God
Now maybe if you'd ask
That this one be your last
Cause this one child is killing you
This one's your last chance
To make this last one really the last

Gonna last for always
It's gotta last for always

That one never ceases to mean a lot to me.

THEGIRL has probably set some sort of record by being the only child north of the Rio Grande to actually be spanked with a package of tortillas in a grocery store.

It happened yesterday. She'd JACKED with Wolfboy one time too many and WHAP!

One good smack on the backside and the devil left her oh so briefly.

I threatened her with them again later. Do you know how difficult it is to look like a serious parent when you're brandishing a package of Rosarita flour tortillas at your child?

Happy Monday.
