from the vault...
Let me begin this post by saying it happened a long long time ago, in a land inhabited by fairies, elves and my little sister... and that I'm sure that SOME aspects of my sisters character in this story have changed. Some however remain the same.
The eldest of my younger sisters (Elissa) for the past few months had been copping a LOT of negative publicity in the family for her evil devil breath. It was so bad, she would pick a flower to smell the scent, and the flower would wilt before it reached her nose... In the days leading up to the 'event' in question, we had been teasing her quite a bit...
Late one night, my mum heard some crying from the bathroom... she walked out and tried to open the bathroom door. Locked. She knocked, and one of my younger sisters answered in a tearful voice 'I'm in here... I've had an accident'. The accident happened to be that she had extremely bad diarrhoea, and had actually left a snail trail from her bed to the bathroom. And it stank...
Then, as an embarrassed six year old does, she had gotten a handful of tissues, and attempted to clear it up off the bathroom floor... only the smell was so bad, she was throwing up at the same time. She would wipe a part of the floor clean, only to vomit on it, and have to clean it again. Poor child was going around in circles.
Mum and Dad came to the rescue, wiping up the mess in the bathroom, hallway and bedroom, and changing the sheets on the bed. The smell lingered... it was so bad that Mum decided to open the window, and put a fan near the window to blow fresh air into the room.
Elissa began to wake up right about this time, and in her half awake state started shouting at everyone "You're all idiots! Your so stupid! This is just so stupid! Ok, Ok, I get it... my BREATH SMELLS!!! But this is just stupid!!! YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS!!".
Yes Elissa. Your breath was so bad that it woke mum, dad and *the other nameless one* from their sleep, and they had to use a fan to induce fresh air into the room to avoid asphyxiation.
As I said earlier, some aspects of Elissa's character have changed. She doesn't call people idiots as much anymore.
