spill


sometimes i get really into drinking water.
so much so that i usually end up dumping it down my front.
you know: 
you're reallyreally thirsty + you're trying to drink all fast + it starts w/ a little trickle out the side of your mouth between your lip + the rim of the glass, then.....
waterfall.
vampire style.


speaking of water:
it is my teenytinybaby sister's birthday today.
she is 16.
i just woke her up to tell her all about it.
i think she was really pleased.
she has to wake up at 5am or something stupid so i'm sure she appreciates my midnight phone calls.


wondering how water correlates to my littlest sister?
mostly it has to do w/ how she was born.
or what i saw of it.


it was an accident really.
i was 10.
my older sister chelsi + i were waiting patiently, or not patiently at all, whichever, when a nice nurse lady came + told us our new baby sister had been born + we could go in.
well: she was wrong.
but we were pretty stoked to see this new....thing....so in we went.


[in retrospect i have NO IDEA how children like us, doctor's children or no, managed to just WALK IN to things like this]


it was the slip-n-slide from hell.
all blood + screaming.
then WOOSH!
there she was.


so now you know.
i know that story made you feel better.
how could it not?
blood! babies! it has it all.


now i'm thirsty.


xo.
