a bedtime story

mmmh... so
1. its well past my bed time
2. i'm sitting in the dark with my rabbit on my lap
3. the words i might say, may be mildly cryptic... read between the lines

Since we're on the topic of older-sibling-rants I have one to share. It is much more simple, and much less life altering, but obviously its shaped a decent amount of myself, seeing as it is one of the few memories my aging brain has latched onto from childhood. It looks like this:


***DISCLAIMER: NEWMS MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS***

Chorus: At the end of Touchstone court lived a bushy tailed girl named Kelsey. Often falling victim to her brothers ill-willed requests, so she could be seen as the cool little sister, she was misled once again.

Aaron: (standing next to Luke, my 2 week childhood crush) You should lick this...
Kelsey: (stares at the gum webbing through the sole of her brother's "Nike Pumps") ...uh, I don't want to
Aaron: You chicken?
Kelsey: Its warm gum... on your SHOE!
Aaron:(slowly advancing toward her, wielding the shoe)come ooon! I'll give you 20 dollars (at this Luke giggles)
Kelsey: really? 20 dollars?
Aaron: reeeeeally.
(a pinky swear goes down)

Chorus: taking the shoe from Aaron, Kelsey looks at it strategically. After a full examination, and the realization that this could never be done easily, she squeezes her eyes closed, sticks her tongue out, and gives it a quick taste

Aaron and Luke: AHHHH!! EWWWW!!!
Kelsey: WHAT! you told me to. give me the 20 dollars.
Aaron: ahaha... go get one of your dolls for me
Kelsey: huh?
Aaron: I said 20 DOLL HAIRS! ahahahahahah!!

Chorus: As the boys ran off, Kelsey was left pondering the strange taste of moldy strawberries, rubber, and bitter beguile.



I could preach a sermon off of this story... but I will let you do the cross-examination. Either that, or I'm not exactly sure why I told you this.
