The Corner of a Nanny's Grin (Pam)

Click.  Whirrr.

Commercials.  I don't see why I continue watching television when I can't stand these stupid commercials.  Yea, like I'm really going to believe a cheeseburger from the right joint will make me thin, desirable, and satisfied.  No, I'll be miserably fat, despondent because I'm fat and undesirable, and utterly dissatisfied because I'm fat, despondent and undesirable.  Whoa Pam.  Calm down.

Great.  Now I want a burger.  What time is it?

"Hello, hello."

"Oh, hey Sis.  You're right on time, please convince me that I don't want a burger."

"Pam, you're a vegetarian.  You hate burgers.  Besides, I'm going to make enchiladas mamacita!"

Uh oh.  Another one of Sicily's attempts at cooking.  Now I really want a burger.

"Yum!  Sounds great Sis, thanks.  I knew you'd talk me out of that burger."

Burger.  Burger.  Burger.  Burger.  Burger.

"Why crave a burger when you can have a cozy, toasty, zesty, sexy enchilada, right?"

She may not make the best mexican dishes, but her ambition is worth a taste.  Burger.  Shut up!  I know her intentions mean well.  She looks so happy.  No.  Determined.

"So, how was your day?"

Crap.  Did I turn in my math?

"It was ok.  The kids were acting...."

Did I turn in my math?

"Sorry, the kids were what?"

"Huh? Oh.  Yea.  The kids were just acting bratty.  You know how it is.  I'm just glad to be home."

Dang it.  That was bad.

"Sorry Sis, I am paying attention, sorry.  I just suddenly remembered I have an important paper to turn in, and I forgot if I actually submitted it or not.  Sorry."

"No, you're fine.  I understand.  I remember the stress of papers and all that.  No worries."

Important-ish.  I hate school.
