SISTERS

“Hey, is it raining?”
“How should I know? Stick your finger out the window.”
“Don’t be fresh; it looks dark.”
“It could just be cloudy.”
“You think it’s gonna come down?“
“Do I look like the Weather Lady?”
“What does the radio say?”
“Possibility of showers.”
“They always say that.“
“What do you want from me?”
“Maybe if I bring a small umby, it’ll act like a cross.”
“How’s that?”
“It’ll keep away rain like a cross keeps away the vampires.”
“Why don’t you take a wooden stake and hammer while you’re at it.”
