Th-thanks!

Um, someone told me that the next time I saw you I had to hug you super hard and I mean that's not too different but I think they meant like jumping-on-you hugging and I would but then I'd fall over and then you'd fall over and then the ice might break and everyone would be super cold and wet and not happy and I didn't bring spare pants and they wouldn't fit you anyway probably so

[deep breath]

how do we get off this lake I think I'm going to fall over again.
