Shuck That Corn! - Week 4

I was little, and my sister often took advantage of me by dressing me up in a plethora of costumes, this time, it was a pink tutu. As my sister put on the finishing touches, my mom walked in with an armful of corn, and like an idiot, I decided to help out.

So began my afternoon of child labor. I shucked with a tremendous intensity, my face was stricken with fervor, each fistful of husk that I tore up brought me closer to my goal. The corn was my enemy, and each one I shucked faster than the one before, for I wanted some naptime, and who was the corn to take that away from me!

Then I had finished, I looked down at the bucket of corn, and then back at the table where the demolished husk lay. I stood up triumphantly, corn in hand, and hollered to heavens, somewhere the corn gods were listening, and they were afraid, they were very afraid. I walked inside and gave my mom my three stalks of corn, and fell asleep.


P.S. My soccer team is going to be the ball boys for the Seattly Sounders this Saturday. If you want to watch the game it's on at 7:30PM on channel 5.
