Squidgy Mom TRISH DOUGHERTY | OXFORD Squidgy mom snakes her marshmallow arm around you in the kitchen as if she’s proud of your knife skills, of how you slice the bread when she’s the one who baked it. Squidgy mom is proud of you -full stop, period Tall and strong you are the best thing she has ever grown. Perennial like the oceans cycling around this planet, circling around the sun. Squidgy mom wishes this for your future, someday may you be the squidgy one next to another tall and true. May they love you enough to allow the random squeeze.
