“What’s This 🎶 Lovely Smell 🎶?”

Aroma of frying rice catches child’s fancy

The Daily Kina

Things I am proud of in today’s edition:

  • The particular Pepe Le Pew-esque waftiness of Kina floating through the kitchen towards a hot wok full of fried rice, about which she sang a happy little song yesterday

  • The accuracy of a tiny Mazda logo, which Kina will remember for the rest of her natural life, on the love letter from Mochi Appley The Family Car

  • The gentle drape on the two layered sequined capes that Kina has conned her adults into purchasing for her (though the outfit pictured does not depict her real-life hoodie underneath—see also “This Outfit Is Sick!” from the July 18th edition)

  • Kina’s vindictive pricing

Things of which I am less proud:

  • The spider looks like a tick

We can’t win them all.
