It’s Goodbye Earl

Hey Dude,

I just gotta tell you, your sister can be stone cold scary. The other day I was watching her paint the dining room walls after the refrigerator died (total equipment failure, messy business). Your Ma starts walking through the middle of this war zone when all of a sudden, your sister just stops cold, points that paint roller right at your Ma and says, ‘I’m naming this paint roller Earl!’ Your Ma gave her that look- you know the one, the ‘I’m-amused-but-prepared-for-chaos’ look-and asks, ‘Oh? And why are we naming the paint roller Earl?’ To which your sister didn’t even crack a smile. She just narrowed her eyes and went full blown Tommy Lee Jones and , said, ‘Cause after this, it’s gonna be GOODBYE EARL!’ (Apparently she wasn’t overly impressed by the quality of the paint roller I’m guessing.) 

I gotta tell you though, the delivery was absolutely flawless. If that paint roller had had a pulse, it would have stopped right there on the spot. I almost fell flat on the floor laughing. I would have given her a round of thunderous applause, but she gave me a look that stopped me dead in my tracks; pun intended. She’s the real deal, kid. Make sure you keep your head on a swivel when you’re around her. 

Your ‘Favorite’,
Colt
