Weekend Assignment #14:
9 July 2004 12:34Write a haiku about your most cherished snack food or carbonated beverage.
Warm on the top shelf,
the can is waiting (patient)
for me to need cheese.
You can write about snack foods and the seasons for extra credit.
Cold, sweet and plastic
Nostalgia plays on my tongue,
Summer's icy scepter.
Tell us about a snack food you like that all your friends hate.
I am so picky
everyone likes all my snacks.
That's why I hide them.

SARA: Wait. Why does he kill his kids? I always get distracted and miss it.
JOSH: No reason. He's crazy.

JOSH: He was just sitting around and maybe smoked some stuff and went crazy.
SARA: Oh, they do tell you. And now he's going to kill himself in the barn. See it is a good story. I knew there was a reason why I liked it.
(All with Rona in utero. Our kid is gonna be so cool.)
