Journal #43: Extended Verion
I sit down to take the test. A few days ago I would have never imagined I would ever find myself in this position. Ever. I am normal. I have an normal family. I have a normal dog, and I have a normal pillow. Sometimes our grocery lists are wrong, though. I've done this to myself, and I know that. I love my brother.
It started two days ago. Walker wanted grapes. He wanted green and I wanted purple. He was at the store though, and I was not. He could choose whatever he wanted. He got green grapes. I HATE GREEN GRAPES. I couldn't imagine being anywhere near a refrigerator that contained such imbeciles of such a ghastly color.
I did have one solution though. I had painted my room recently. Purple. I could make the grapes at least look purple. They wouldn't be purple, but they could look purple. They would be green, but only I would know they were green. They could look purple.
When the ambulance was called was when I knew it had been wrong. HE DESERVED IT THOUGH. I love my brother. BUT HE GOT GREEN ONES.
Now I sit here holding a yellow number two pencil with a white sheet of paper in front of me. What is your name it asks? I write my full name. Letter by letter. It asks about my family. I tell them about my brother. Who I love. Even though he loves green grapes.
I finish the test with a smile on my face, for I know they will never take me. I am too normal. I have done this to myself, but it was only because I know that purple is better. Walker surely knows this now too, and he will never buy green grapes again. I HATE GREEN GRAPES. I will go home and we will eat purple together.
I did this to myself, but Walker knows now. He knows better.
