champion

I should be getting a package in the mail today from my brother. He wants to give me a trophy. I’m sure it will be gold plated with a nice oak stand. On top will be a girl with pig tales and a cute smile kind of like a cheerleader, but not quite as naïve. She’ll be more like a spelling bee champion. It will be engraved—“best sister ever.” I’ll put it on top of my bookcase so when people come over they’ll marvel in its glory. “Oh wow,” they’ll say, “your brother must really appreciate you as a person.” It should come today. I hope he wasn’t being facetious.
