Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

Change of Plans


I would have liked to be here at night rather than at five in the morning, but plans get sidetracked by life and must be dealt with accordingly. Just like when Mr. Mitchel “accidentally” shot all of my egg-laying hens in my property because he mistook them for quails and didn’t realize he had trespassed. To deal with it, I had to get money by working for another farmer. I kneel in the tall grass, taking inventory of Mr. Mitchel’s cows in his backyard. He had three calves, seven cows, and one bull. Now, which ones should I shoot?
