So here I am, washing the
floor. I don't see why my mom had to
scream at me and force me to clean up.
I was just ironing my shirt. I love
doing laundry. It brings such
pleasure. There is no job I'd rather do
than laundry. Taking dirty clothes
stained with muck, blood, and pasta sauce...my grandma makes the best pasta in
the world. It has oregano, parsely,
leek, and tomato. Tomatoes are
interesting vegetables. Are they
vegetables or fruits? They are tough on
the outside but squishy inside. I love
squishy things. Up in my room I have
many stuffed animals. I like hugging my
bears, koalas, dolphins and dinosaurs.
I still remember when my dad gave me the dinosaur. It was all wrapped up and I ripped the paper
off. He dropped it off one night on my
bed while I was asleep. I love
sleeping. My method of sleeping is very
strange. I just lay down and close my
eyes. What
is my eye color? I don't remember. There are many things I can't remember. I forget easily. The other day I forgot to pick up my girlfriend for a date. I dislike my girlfriend. Why am I going out with her? I do remember asking her out. Her hair was so pretty that day. I love hair. Hair can say so much about a person. I can't say which type I like more: blond, brunette, long, short,
straight or curly. I admire curly
things. How they stay together is a
mystery. DNA is curly. It spins around and reproduces itself very
easily. That reproduction is good. There is one bad type of reproduction. Cancer cells shouldn't reproduce. My grandfather had cancer. My mom tells me they shot rays at him
everyday. I imagine him in an old star
trek movie. "Beam me up
Scottie." I have a friend named Scottie. I see him everyday and twice on Sunday. Sunday is a fun day for me. We spend all day doing nothing and at night
we go to church. Our church is really
interesting. The priest gives a long
sermon and always tells us what we shouldn't do. Every Sunday the list gets bigger and bigger. We keep lists in my house. They tell us what we need to buy at the
grocery store and pharmacy. Our family
visits the pharmacist often. My mom
says we are hypo-something. Something
about being sick all the time. I'm
feeling sick right now. I'm sick of
having to clean this mess. It wasn't my
fault, but getting back... The pharmacy is close to my house. My mom says I have to go in a little
while. She's making a list of all the
stuff we need, stomach pills, headache pills, and even pills that the Church
doesn't want us to buy. Maybe if the
priest at our church wasn't so conservative. That's the only reason I dislike
Sundays. Sundays are the best
days. I spend all day with
Scottie. We are both tan from soaking
in the sun's rays. My mom says we
shouldn't spend all that time in the sun or we'll get skin cancer. My grandfather is now in remission. He tells me he has visualized rabbits to get
better. Rabbits reproduce very
quickly. Rabbit fur is fun. I'd like it more if it were curly. Like a poodle. My girlfriend has a poodle.
What's it's name? Oh, I don't
know-some really stupid name. Something
to do with it's eye color. All it ever
does is sleep. It just lays on it's bed
all day. Sometimes I wish a big animal
would eat the stupid mutt. A dinosaur
could easily devour it. Then perhaps we
could have him stuffed. Unfortunately
real stuffed animals are hard. You
can't squish them. The poodle has very
strange tastes. It likes eating fruits
and vegetables. Maybe what we should do
is remove the tomatoes from his diet.
Perhaps that will kill him. Or
we can poison his salads. That's
it! I'll get my grandmother to make
some of her pasta. Then I'll put rat
poison in it. What if she eats it? Oh well it's not like I love her that
much. She doesn't really like what I
like. She wouldn't even help me with
the laundry, which is why I'm here now washing the floor.
