I am here
I will use my superpowers wisely.
Sugar
They claimed that the sugar infused pills would help reduce a person’s craving for sugary food.
Lemons
This is a story about two lemons.
Convinced
My colleague was convinced that she would be fired. There was a daily routine that consisted of her rattling off all the reasons why her termination was an inevitable conclusion. Her arguments were so persuading, that she convinced me my job might be in jeopardy too. If it wasn’t for the fact that I dreamed of being fired, it may have had a major impact on me.
The most
I didn’t have a conventional seat in the station wagon, those were reserved for my older siblings, not me, the youngest of seven girls. But, I made something out of my space and used a little creativity to make it the best passenger experience. This wasn’t considered anything special, my entire family had an exceptional talent for making something out of nothing.
… The most
Genius
“She is a genius.”
“How do you know?”
“Because she told me.”
“If she is a genius, what does that make you?”
Socks
It was the child’s first time in a dance studio. The wood floors, silver bars and tall mirrors captivated her. She was one of the few children selected to participate in the after school dance program. How did they know she loved to dance?
The instructor sat the children down in a circle, introduced herself and then politely asked the children to remove their shoes. The young girl panicked. If she removed her shoes, they would learn her secret.
Chips
“I want to be a millionaire when I grow up.”
“What you gonna do, have someone pay you a dime for every chip you eat? You gotta have a real skill to make money in this world.”
