The Big Toe

Indeed, I have ventured into dangerous territory. Reasons why?

As my sister and I faced each other in utter silence, my mouth slowly turning into a big “O”, I had the hugest urge to…laugh. Really. Loudly. Of course, if I did such a thing, it would mean doom for me.

Possibly forever.

My sister asked me, “Do you know what you have done? How is it possible that you could put your stupid big toe exactly where the outlet switch is and turn it off?!”

Oh boy, that sounded way too funny—further adding to my doom-filled laughter. I put my head down to hide my growing smile and forced it back into a line before it could be seen.

After two sentences of complete shock, three sentences of yelling, and one minute of messing up my hair (crap, but I couldn’t complain) from my sister, I continued to play “Mariage D’amour” while my sister was silently cursing me. A few minutes into the song, my sister’s computer was turned back on and I think everything might be ok if I just shut up…

...for the whole day.
