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.

Nothing Fits

I looked at all the fancy dresses and sighed. My friend told me that Vivian’s had the best designer clothes, but everything was too big for me. The emerald dress with daisies on the hem, the velvet cloak that would make Little Red Riding Hood jealous, the leather gloves–they wouldn’t fit me!

Even the extra-extra small clothes weren’t small enough. Why didn’t people ever make clothes for people like me? It wasn’t fair! I’ll have to learn to sew my own dresses. 

I fluttered out of the store. Sometimes I wished I wasn’t a pixie who’s as small as Thumbelina.
