O is for

Offhand * Octopus

If I had the arms of an octopus, everything would always be close at hand.

I would never have to make more than one trip from the car to the house with the groceries and I could walk the dog and the Girl Scout Cookies on the same trip. I would knit and I would type my English essays eight times as fast. And I would do pull-ups and juggle and be able to lift more weight than anybody.

If I had the arms of an octopus, I would hold your face between my hands and push your hair out of your face when you cried. I would hug you tight and always hold your hand. We would stick together and I would never let you go.
