Citizen Sign In

((The following is an IC spiral notebook that Poe gave her adopted 5 year old daughter Kylie, to draw and write in.

This entry is written in orange crayon, in the handwriting of a 5 year old. There’s a peanut butter and jelly stain on the lower portion. She dropped her sammich on it, and tried to wipe it off on the couch.))

((Below the writing is a crude drawing of a bloated giraffe in yellow with brown splotchy areas and a neck that looks like it has a goiter. An arrow is drawn to it and the word “jraf” is written.))
