The Project

Charlie's teacher wasn't amused with Charlie's diorama project. What was the big idea of a six-year-old handing in a crushed shoebox containing crumpled-up fast-food wrappers, crushed cigarette butts, unfurled (and unused? she hopes) condoms, blood-rusted razorblades, hypodermic needles, and three baby teeth? The assignment was to recreate your family's living room. She gave him a big fat red "F".

When Charlie went home that afternoon and his dad saw the grade scrawled on the shoebox lid, he smacked Charlie so hard across the jaw that a fourth tooth flew from the boy's mouth and joined the others in the shoebox.

Martine: Thank you! (I'd write more, but that wouldn't be as economical!)

Karen: What you don't realize is that just outside the frame of that shot is the still-twitching body of a wise-ass lesbian disemboweled and pulp-brained by the sweet little girl's warm, soft hand and the bubble-maker grasped in it. And because the bubbles are made of soap, she managed to clean herself up really well before I snapped her photo. She, just like I, may be small -- but don't fuck with us.

Much better than the sunshine, lollipops and fuckin' rainbows in the photo below.

Your economy of words blows me away....a less skilled writer couldn't get the same effect in three times as many words. :)
