“Bah,” they taunted. “Your resolutions never last.”
She stewed.
When her twin brothers showed up for their monthly siblings’-dinner, muscles and righteous bravado rippling under too-tight shirts, she knew what they were expecting: Frozen pizza or boxed mac-and-cheese. The usual Candace-can’t-cook stuff.
They sprawled on her couch and let her putter in the kitchen.
“When’s the pizza ready, Sis?” Brian called. “We’re starving.”
She smirked. He and Bobby lectured her alright, but she knew they secretly looked forward to their junkfood fix.
“Oh, no pizza,” she brought out the shot glasses. “Wheatgrass!”

HA HA … Surprise …!!! I love wheatgrass juice but I suppose it isn’t their cup of tea.
That will teach them to tease and taunt her. Fun write, Na’ama. Have a good weekend.

Oh … maybe they’d have learned their lesson to: a. not taunt their sister, b. not take her for granted, c. walk their talk … 😉

Na’ama Y’karah,
Those brothers got exactly what was coming to them. (Reminds me of my ‘observant’ aunt who kept Kosher but thought nothing of eating bacon in my parent’s house.) How about a little range free crow with that wheatgrass? 😉 Loved this.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Served up with a light touch, well done. (I think she might have a pizza for them in the kitchen :))
