Dawg

This young man is strutting up the street with his boom box. He’s a big guy with a shaved head, sporting new sneakers and a parka. Suddenly he stops, looks behind him at ground level and gives a c’mon jerk of his head. Out of the crowd hurries a tiny Chihuahua. The dog rushes to the young man’s side and then sits nervously at his feet. The man pauses a moment, then resumes strutting.

Open Up

Bryan and I went on a drive this weekend, and wound up behind a minivan with a bumper sticker that read, “If only closed minds came with closed mouths.”

Me: I’m so open-minded that I don’t want to hear any opposing opinions.

B: If you’re not open-minded, shut-the f**k up.

Me: Muteness upon those who disagree with me.

Speak and Spell?

Bryan’s cell phone has one of those rings that make people stop and look in the street. It’s sort of a loud, futuristic, rolling chime. At my sister’s house, his phone rings and the kids sit bolt upright with wide eyes. Trevor says, “We don’t have any toys that sound like that!”

Open Letter

Dear guy in the cape and oversized beret who is nowhere near a Renaissance Faire,

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Sincerely,

Maggie
