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.

Crazy Kaylee

The whole neighborhood knew Kaylee was crazy. 

She mowed her lawn to prevent “overgrowth” instead of letting the grass grow as much as it wanted. She pulled out the weeds from her garden when they were a natural part of the outdoors. She swept the floors, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and kept everything tidy when messiness was simply a natural part of life. 

She claimed she couldn’t leave the place “unkempt.” But everyone knew that their houses weren’t unkempt, with their lawns of four-foot-tall grass, weedy gardens, dirty floors, and dish-filled sinks. 

No way.

They simply had character.
