Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile,
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,

And smile, smile, smile.

why the song above? i got into a verbal squabble with my ma this morning. so i was lamenting to a friend about it. the same friend had invited me over for a pecan pie and ice cream party come this sunday. she'd just learnt how to make pecan pie and wanted to share the joy with some close friends. i suspect she also knew i needed some kind of 'life' outside my minute world. so she really wanted me to be there. so she told me to pack up my troubles and make sure i get well by then. (were those the exact lyrics of the song we sang when we're small? lol)

i have a problem saying sorry to my ma...
