+# Story of a Girl
+
+A Babel plugin that replaces `this` with some lyrics.
+
+Sorry. My hands were tied: https://twitter.com/luke_dot_js/status/876250000187170816
+
+## Testing
+
+I dunno, I barely know what Babel is. I just followed [a blog about it](https://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-asts-building-babel-plugin/).
+
+And at any rate, this is going to be a terrible idea to use in real code. Don't. The license says you can't sue me, right? Talk to your lawyer.
+
+Anyway, run `node run.js example.js` and fiddle w/ `example.js` to see what happens. I assume this does awful things.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Sure, pull requests welcome, why not?
