13 Leaving the Note that She Hoped Would Say More

Boulder, CO

It has always amused me to think of the daughter from "She's Leaving Home" trying to say something profound in her note, but ending up just saying "Bye".

I can't help but think that as much (or more) time went into the words on the page than into capturing the image. Wide-ruled paper was a nice touch.

"Guest" - there are many ways to respond to such an anonymous comment.

Too cerebral for this bunch?

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's really meant as a bit of absurdist humor. I was amused by the thought that the daughter would try to say something profound to her parents by quoting Marx, Yeats, Jefferson, Nietzsche, Austen, and Hobbes, get dissatisfied each time, move on to Peter Pan, Forrest Gump, and finally some Beatles lyrics, and then just settle for "bye" (and here are my keys).

This has taken some thought for me to understand.
While I do understand, I also don't.
I like it, the keys are a great touch, but now I'm confused again. haha

I like it for its creativity. But, I have another favorite of yours.

The keys also drew me right in, two different lock at that. I read, I was intrigued and kept reading and thinking I don’t get it, what am I missing. I’m sad to admit but it took me far too long to catch on. You know when you’re hot you’re hot, apparently I’m not. I get it now! Or do I??? Paul

Brilliant. The keys are nice touch. As is not using a cellphone to take the photo.

This is the obvious winner, if only for creative effort...I love everything about this, especially the keys, Bye and Dear Mum and Dad. Traveller
