Second Sister – 10/13/14

…and now, due to her inherent curious bordering on suspicious nature, she looks askance, occasionally, at the cards she receives, like this one of old, withered, dried-up and sort of now useless sunflowers.  She stifles the thought, “What’s up with this?” and then attempt to replace it, “Oh, there is so much deeper thought and meaning here”, and quickly discards that thought as highly unlikely and sort of ludicrous considering the source of the card.  No, with this card, he is just stretching, ah, probably trying to get rid of, finally, the stack of really second-class art masquerading as first class art on second-class postcards, ok, yes, that’s it.  So, now armed with this knowledge, now possessing the truth, she marches into the house holding high the postcard and saying to her wonderful partner, “Look, what he sent me this time, oh, such nonsense.”  And her partner takes the card and looks at it and says, “Oh, how lovely”.  And now her partner, not so wonderful, is just crazy too!
