Old Enough
How can one night change a kid like me, or anyone for that matter? I don't know the answers but I do know I grew up a whole lot after sleeping over in what felt like another world entirely different than my own. Part of me wants to not think so much, to just be a kid who plays checkers, pretends to be a spy or astronaut and can forget all about the troubles this dumb ole world has. Something tells me those kind of days are soon over.

My best friend and her cousins know the time is coming for me to say goodbye, for now at least, when we see a new yellow taxi cab pull up and Paw-Paw stands up and waves to the driver. What a spectacle for the whole darn world, my big white Paw-Paw, post hernia procedure standing next to our small chestnut colored Pearl; heck, they even hugged.

While Clara and I were instructed to "play nice" with Jolly and Bertie outside it was far much harder than usual knowing Jolly wanted me to be his girlfriend. Why is it that the more a boy likes someone they act more stupid than ever? It's like the rooster walking around the barnyard crowing his fool head off, all puffed up about nothing while the hens busy themselves with more serious affairs like laying eggs and digging for worms. Soon as Jolly started showing off his cartwheels and tree climbing skills, us girls got busy drawing in the dirt with sticks. Clara and I were designing a house and Bertie, well, she just made circles with that, "I'm so bored I could die" look on her face. It was scorching hot but grown-ups want kids outside so they can have some peace. At least that's what Clara says.

Way Over the Rainbow
"Hello? Oh Esther! I'm thrifting, can ya hear me? Let me put ya on speaker. I'm in a dressing room. Gotta have more bling, tchotchke, right? Minimalist, shinimalist, let 'em say our house is cluttered. There's a big difference in being a hoarder or on the boarder, right? WhateveAH! SO, my friend in the ArTik, yes, that's what I said, ArTIk, is having this challenge or some nonsense so I says, what the sheesh kabob, I'll go along. I'm a good sport. I'm not into competitive sports but I do like watching the boys in their leotards in Paris right now. Swingin' on them bars, tight little, OHHH! Hot flash! Does the ArTik compete in the Olympics? Who knew people actually lived there? Who they gonna send that can bring home the likes of Sweden and the States? Santa Claus? Esther? I don't have time to go on about it, so listen and write this down cause I am tryin' to close my purse; the zipper's stuck." ~~
