on being a great sister

March 13, 2006

my brothers and i have a good, basic idea of one another's daily schedules. a couple of times a week one of us will call another to, say, stop at the store to pick up a couple of things. my oldest brother called one day to ask if i'd stop by albertson's, a regional grocer, to pick up a toothbrush. sure. what kind do you want? he wanted an oral b. i refused to spend five dollars on a toothbrush, to which he replied with, "you can pick one out for me as long as it has soft bristles." roger that.

i went with my tried and true brand, colgate. the store had a 2/$3.00 sale with a preferred card membership, but i didn't have my card. dag. i chuckled wildly in the aisle as i chose a beautiful fuchsia toothbrush for him and embarked for the self-check out line. then i noticed that it had medium bristles, and to not be a total dick about it, i went back to get the requested soft-bristled brush. to my dismay, there wasn't a fuchsia brush with a soft head, and after debating over a runner-up color, i decided on lilac.

moral of the story: don't ask me to pick stuff up for you at the store or i'll try to burn you as best as i can. whether it's a pink toothbrush or kids watermelon shampoo, it'll be a burn.

    This is a personal website for a (nearly) 25 year-old femme fatale who breathes, works, and plays in Texas. Most of what one may find here are crafty vignettes ripped from the headlines of her life. She also has an odd fascination with ninjas—the black-masked killing machines, not the two-wheeled crotch-rockets. Those are dumb. Intrigued? Read more.
